Gain an understanding of DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. Learn what DNA polymerase does and explore the functions of RNA primase and their end products.

Learn about the role of the RNA primer in DNA replication, the RNA primer's function and sequence, complementary nucleotides, and synthetic primers.

DNA polymerase catalyzes the process of DNA replication and repair during cellular respiration. Learn about DNA polymerase function, structure, and types.

RNA polymerase is the main enzyme involved in the transcription process. Like DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase also adds new nucleotides to the 3' end of the strand thus, growing the RNA …

Learn about the process of transcription inside a cell with a focus on the structure and function of the RNA polymerase ii in the process.

The DNA template is used by RNA polymerase to produce a strand of RNA with a nucleotide sequence that is the same as the coding strand for the production of functional RNA units and …

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is produced by the enzyme RNA polymerase. RNA polymerase reads an opened strand of DNA and incorporates complementary ribonucleotides to form the new …

RNA mutates whenever one or more nucleotides are altered, inserted, or deleted. Mutations are more likely to happen in RNA because of RNA polymerase, which lacks the same accuracy as …

What does primase do in DNA replication? In this lesson, see the primase definition, primase function, primase types, and the role of primase in DNA replication.

The two primary inhibitors of DNA and RNA synthesis are rifamycins and quinolones. Discover how the antibodies known as rifamycins, quinolones, and fluoroquinolones kill bacteria in this …
