Answer:

It contains Uracil (U) instead of Thymine (T).

Reason for primer removal:

This is because of their uracil nucleotide which is absent in DNA. Instead of Uracil DNA contains Thymine nucleotide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primers:

Primers are a short sequence of RNA. These sequences attached to the 5' end are the requirement of DNA polymerase to start the process of replication.

Primer removal:

After replication, these short fragments of RNA are removed to replaced with DNA from the newly synthesized DNA strand.

Reason for primer removal:

This is because of their uracil nucleotide which is absent in DNA. Instead of Uracil DNA contains Thymine nucleotide.

Best Answer:

Because It contains Uracil (U) instead of Thymine (T).
