Exercise 29
Assume that the sequence of bases given in this problem is present on one nucleotide chain of a DNA duplex and that the chain has opened up at a replication fork. Synthesis of an RNA primer occurs on this template starting at the base that is underlined.
(a) If the RNA primer consists of eight nucleotides, what is its base sequence?
(b) In the intact RNA primer, which nucleotide has a free 3'-OH terminus?
