Question

during dna replication, each new strand begins with a short multiple choice hydrophilic primer. amino acid primer. lipid primer. rna primer. dna primer.

Explanation:

DNA replication requires a starting point. DNA - dependent DNA polymerases cannot initiate DNA synthesis de - novo. An RNA primer, synthesized by primase, provides the 3'-OH end for DNA polymerase to add nucleotides and start the new DNA strand synthesis.

Answer:

RNA primer.
