Which of the following statements is TRUE?DNA polymerase incorporates new nucleotides into the growing DNA molecule by forming hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotides on opposite strands of the double helix. Only the lagging strand requires the enzyme primase. Once helicase has initially opened up the DNA double helix, it dissociates from the molecule allowing single strand binding proteins and DNA polymerase to bind. Primase, an RNA polymerase, is capable of synthesizing RNA without attaching the incoming nucleotide to a pre-existing, free, 3' hydroxyl group. Only the lagging strand requires the enzyme primase.
