Type of RNA that is used to start process of replication in prokaryotic cell:
Correct answer: D. Primers
- A. tRNA
- B. rRNA
- C. mRNA
- D. Primers
Explanation
Option D is correct. The type of RNA that is used to start the process of replication in a prokaryotic cell is RNA primase. RNA primase is a type of RNA polymerase that synthesizes short RNA primers that are about 10-12 nucleotides long. These primers are used to provide a starting point for DNA polymerase, which then extends the primers to form the new DNA strands. While tRNA,mRNA and rRNA are present in eukaryotic cells.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
