An enzyme called primase. It can start am RNA chain from scratch and adds RNA nucleotides one at a time using the parental DNA as a template. The primer is short (5-10 nucleotides long), and the 3' end serves as the starting point for the new DNA strand

∙ 13y agoDuring the formation of egg or sperm, the sex cell divides into two and also the chromosomes are divided into two equal parts. During this process, processes called meiosis and DNA replication take place as DNA too needs to be divided and this initiates the synthesis of a new DNA strand.

∙ 14y agoYes, an RNA primer must be added to the leading strand by a primase enzyme (DnaG in E. coli) before DNA polymerase can copy the strand.
The RNA primer is later degraded and replaced with DNA by RNAse and other ribonuclease enzymes (enzymes that hydrolyse RNA) and another DNA polymerase.

∙ 13y agoThe first three exposed bases, or codon, on the mRNA are always AUG which initiate the polypeptide formation. The tRNA with the complementary anticodon that connects to this primer is UAC, which is the methionine amino acid. The bases which stop the translation process of protein formation are UAA, UAC or UGA positioned at the end of the mRNA.

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 is the process in which the DNA double helix unfold and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new strand?
I believe it's called replication. not really sure though...
What is a following reactions that is used to radioactively label DNA?
Synthesis of new DNA.
When DNA replicates the new strand is what to the original strand?
The original strands provide a template for making new strands.
What is the new strand called in Dna replication?
semiconservative replication - original DNA double strand will unwind into 2 strands, so one original strand will serve as a template for synthesizing a new complementary strand , thus forming a new DNA (one with old strand and one with a new strand)
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.

What is the role of DNA polymerese in DNA replecation?
to add complementary nucleotide respect to the old strand for new strand synthesis.....
Which protein would you need to complete the synthesis of a new strand of DNA?
DNA polymerase

In the semi-conservative hyposistyesis of DNA replication what proportion of a parent DNA strand is contained by each daughter DNA strand?
The replication is semiconservative. Each strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new DNA molecule by the sequential addition of complementary base pairs, thereby generating a new DNA strand that is the complementary sequence to the parental DNA. Each daughter DNA molecule ends up with one of the original strands and one newly synthesized strand.
How does each separated strand begin a new strand?
With a small piece of primer,and active polymerase(enzyme) it replicates the complementary strand of the DNA
What does semi-conservative men in regard to DNA replication?
It means when the DNA is unzipped into two strands each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of another new strand. So, when the strands come back together in the double helix one strand is an old strand and one is a new strand with you now have double the DNA you started with; four strands in all.
The sequence of bases in DNA determines the sequence of what?
When a new DNA is formed , two strands of old DNA open and act as a template for synthesis of two new strands of DNA .Sequence of bases in new strand of DNA is determined by old strand and it is based on complementarity i.e. A pairs with T and G Pairs with C .
What is important features in synthesis phase?
Synthesis phase or "S phase" occurs during the interphase of a cell cycle between the G1 and G2 stages. During synthesis phase, DNA molecules "unzip" and each old strand attracts free nucleotides forming complementary new strands, leaving two strands of DNA identical to the original strand of DNA.
What is the role of the DNA new strand?
It is a copy of the Dna original strand.
What is a following reactions that is used to radioactively label DNA?
Synthesis of new DNA.
