Answer:

Read the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The primase enzymes produce RNA molecules; the enzyme is a type of RNA polymerase. Primase does its functions by synthesizing short RNA sequences. These short RNA sequences are complementary to a single-stranded piece of DNA, which serves as its template. Primers must be synthesized by primase enzyme before DNA replication can occur.
