Chapter 30, Problem 4P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The evolutionary relationship between the DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase should be determined.

Concept introduction:

DNA synthesis can be defined as the process by which the deoxynucleic acids such as adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine are associated together to form DNA.

RNA synthesis (transcription) is the synthesis of an RNA molecule from the nucleotide’s adenine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil. The nucleotides are combined together by the enzyme RNA Polymerase.
