What bases will be added to the primer is DNA replication proceeds?What bases will be added to the primer as DNA replication proceeds? The bases should appear in the new strand in the order that they will be added starting at the 3' end of the primer.
What adds a primer in DNA replication?An enzyme called primase starts the process. This enzyme makes a small piece of RNA called a primer. This marks the starting point for the construction of the new strand of DNA. An enzyme called DNA polymerase binds to the primer and will make the new strand of DNA.
What adds bases in DNA replication?The telomerase attaches to the end of the chromosome, and complementary bases to the RNA template are added on the end of the DNA strand. Once the lagging strand template is sufficiently elongated, DNA polymerase can now add nucleotides that are complementary to the ends of the chromosomes.
Where is the primer added in DNA replication?Topoisomerase works at the region ahead of the replication fork to prevent supercoiling. Primase synthesizes RNA primers complementary to the DNA strand. DNA polymerase III extends the primers, adding on to the 3' end, to make the bulk of the new DNA.
