Which of the following statements applies to a DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase, or both? Requires a primer to start Makes DNA Makes RNA Adds new nucleotides to the 3' hydroxyl of the previous one Affected by rifampin Which of the following statements applies to a DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase, or both? Requires a primer to start Makes DNA Makes RNA Adds new nucleotides to the 3' hydroxyl of the previous one Affected by rifampin Requires a primer to start Makes DNA Makes RNA Adds new nucleotides to the 3' hydroxyl of the previous one Affected by rifampin

Explanation / Answer

Requires a primer to start.

Explanation:

DNA polymerases require primer with a free 3' hydroxy group already base pair to a template.They CA not scratch by adding nucleotides to a free single standard DNA template.In case of RNA polymerases in contrast can initiate the RNA synthesis without a primer
