Question

Which is NOT a characteristic feature of DnaG?

a) DnaG is a special RNA polymerase used only in DNA replication.
b) DnaG recognizes a GTA sequence and primes at this site.
c) DnaG primes both PhiX174 and E. coli DNA synthesis.
d) DnaG synthesizes a short DNA primer.

Answer 1

DnaG is a special RNA polymerase used only in DNA replication and recognizes a GTA sequence to prime DNA synthesis. It can prime both PhiX174 and E. coli DNA synthesis, but it does not synthesize a short DNA primer.

Step-by-step explanation:

DnaG is a special RNA polymerase used only in DNA replication. It recognizes a GTA sequence and primes at this site. DnaG primes both PhiX174 and E. coli DNA synthesis. However, DnaG does not synthesize a short DNA primer.
