Answer:

The correct answer is - add a few bases for DNA polymerase

Step-by-step explanation:

A short extended nucleic acid composed of ssRNA molecule. This is a molecule that synthesize a primer initialy and later again lay down a primer after the opening of replication fork by DNA helicase.

It sysntheisze before and after the helicase and follow the helicase in order to prepare for the replication process. Thus, adding a few bases for DNA polymerase is main job of RNA primase.
