Concept explainers
(a)
To name: The enzyme that makes DNA strands from a DNA template.
Concept introduction: DNA polymerase is a key enzyme that participates in the
(b)
To name: The enzyme that makes DNA strands from an RNA template.
Concept introduction: Telomerase is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. This enzyme helps to extend the telomeric region by using RNA as a template. Reverse transcriptase in another enzyme synthesizes complementary DNA (cDNA) by utilizing RNA as a template strand.
(c)
To name: The enzyme that makes an RNA strand from a DNA template.
Concept introduction: DNA template can be used for the synthesis of RNA molecule. There are two enzymes that carry out this process, namely RNA polymerase and primase.
