Question

Why DNA synthesis is faster than RNA synthesis?is there any advantage of being faster?

Answer 1

Answer:An obstacle to the triviality of the first issue includes the fact that DNA polymerase replicates DNA at a rate of 10-15 times faster than RNA polymerase transcribes DNA so that these enzymes inevitably collide if they attempt to function concurrently and co-directionally

Step-by-step explanation:

At any given instant, only a fraction of the genome (total DNA) is being transcribed. Consequently, speed is not necessary.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I read it's has to do with the amount of nucleic acid that must be synthesized. RNAs are tiny compared to DNA, so there is little selection pressure for speed. Also, multiple RNA polymerases can initiate simultaneously, effectively increasing the synthesis rate
