Multiple Choice
Which of the following is an advantage of using RNA primers during initiation of a strand in replication?
A) Using primers may decrease mistakes; such errors as mismatched bases are more likely during initiation than elongation, and the use of a short, removable RNA segment avoids inclusion of mismatched bases.
B) Using primers slows down the process of replication, which increases accuracy of complementary base pairing.
C) The RNA of the primers is more stable.
D) The RNA of the primers is more likely to lead to changes in base sequence, which enhances the rate of mutation and thus evolution.
E) The RNA of the primers allows more efficient packing of the chromosomes after its removal.
