Why not DNA act as primer in place of DNA during DNA replication?

In case you are talking about Polymerase chain reaction;
you melt the double strain from each other by raising the temperature. By lowering the temperature, DNA will melt together again. This would happen with the complement strain or with primers. But due to the length of the primer it will bind the matching sequence a lot faster than the complement strain. this is also balanced by strict temperature regulations during a PCR cycle.
* and ofcourse you dont replicate anything if the whole complement strain attaches!

Produces The RNA primer required for DNA replication to begin?
the chemical primase produces the rna primer to start DNA replication. the primase is later removed and replaced with DNA by a repair polymerase
When does DNA replication take place?
DNA replication occurs during the synthesis phase of interphase of the cell cycle.
During DNA replication what?
DNA replication produces two copies of the DNA.
What separates DNA strands when DNA copies itself?
Topoisomerase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA during replication. It binds to the DNA, and separates the double strands and form a replication fork. After which the primer bind to the start site, and DNA polymerase starts DNA synthesis.
What does the synthesis of a new strand of DNA begin?
Following the initiation of DNA replication, the first step is the synthesis of a short RNA primer.

DNA is copied during a process called?
Replication.
What phase does the DNA synthesis occurs?
replication of DNA takes place during the interphase
Where does DNA replication takes place?
DNA replication takes place in NUCLEUS
What kind of molecule is primase?
Primase is an enzyme. It is used to synthesize a short RNA fragment called a primer during DNA replication.
Does DNA replication take place in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells?
No, DNA replication takes place inside the nucleus during S phase of cell cycle.
During DNA replication what?
DNA replication produces two copies of the DNA.
What is the process called when DNA synthesis takes place during interphase?
Replication is when DNA makes more DNA
What separates DNA strands when DNA copies itself?
Topoisomerase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA during replication. It binds to the DNA, and separates the double strands and form a replication fork. After which the primer bind to the start site, and DNA polymerase starts DNA synthesis.
Why RNA primers are needed during DNA replication and what is their fate?
DNA polymerase cannot begin the synthesis of new DNA.To synthesis a new strand of DNA ,RNA primer is required.The complementary RNA nucleotides,that are added opposite to the single strand of parent DNA are the RNA primer.
What does the synthesis of a new strand of DNA begin?
Following the initiation of DNA replication, the first step is the synthesis of a short RNA primer.
