Best Answer

The type of RNA that copies DNA is known as the messenger RNA or mRNA. There are other types of RNA these include the transfer RNA (tRNA), and the ribosomal (rRNA).

How nucleic acids form?

they are constructed from individual nucleotides by enzymes called transcriptases on an existing nucleic acid template.

DNA and RNA are both types?

They are types of nucleic acids. DNA is found in the nucleus and RNA is found in the nucleolus (in the nucleus) and in the ribosomes. DNA codes for RNA, which codes for proteins which ultimately make up our body.

Why rna primer is used instead of dna primer?

There are basically two types of enzymes that can bind to DNA and copy it. The DNA polymerase and the RNA polymerase. The RNA polymerase, which copies DNA into RNA, will only bind to single stranded DNA, in other words areas of the DNA where the nitrogen bases holding the two strands of nucleotide units together have been separated. On the other hand the DNA polymerase that copies DNA into DNA will only bind to DNA that is double stranded. So in lies the dilemma. To make a copy of the DNA the DNA polymerase is use, but it will not bind to single stranded DNA so there is no way to make a DNA primer using aDNA polymerase, but the RNA polymerase will bind to single stranded DNA and there for can be used to make a small RNA primer on the open strands of DNA. Now the DNA polymerase has place that is double stranded and can attach and start copying the DNA.
