The conversation between human and AI assistant.
What are the main differences between polymerase activity and exonuclease activity?
What about RNA polymerase? Is that involved in DNA replication as well?
RNA polymerase is responsible for transcribing RNA from a DNA template, rather than replicating DNA. However, RNA primers are used in DNA replication to initiate polymerase activity, and RNA polymerase is involved in synthesizing those primers.
