Which DNA polymerase removes RNA primers in DNA synthesis?
Answer: A
Correct answer: Polymerase I
Pol I alone has a 5’→3’ exonuclease, and that is what lets it chew away the RNA primer ahead of itself while its polymerase activity fills the gap behind - the process called nick translation. Pol III, which does the bulk of synthesis, has no such activity.
