Biology for Non-STEM Majors
Primase is an enzyme that synthesizes short RNA primers during DNA replication, providing a starting point for DNA polymerases to extend and form new DNA strands. This enzyme is crucial because it initiates the replication process, allowing for accurate copying of genetic material in cells, particularly in prokaryotic organisms where replication occurs in a streamlined manner.
congrats on reading the definition of Primase. now let's actually learn it.
