It's hard to pick a starting point on where to begin in explaining our disdain for gender-reveal parties, but the name itself seems like a good one, in the fact that it's a complete misnomer. You are not revealing the gender of your baby; you are revealing the sex.
DNA Polymerase is a polymerase that synthesizes a DNA strand ... so it's used in DNA replication. RNA Polymerase is not used to form the primer-that is primases job. RNA Pol is used during transcription to synthesize the mRNA strand. EK does a decent job describing a primer.
see pcr1. RNA polymerase. 1. an enzyme that synthesizes an RNA copy of the sequence in a limited region of DNA in a process known as DNA transcription. Called also DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. 2. a viral enzyme that synthesizes RNA from an RNA template during viral replication. Called also RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. see RNA polymerase (above). Taq polymerase. a DNA polymerase that functions at high temperature; derived from the bacterium Thermus aquaticus and used in the polymerase chain reaction.
