    The RNA primer is used in

    A)  translation      

    B)  replication

    C)  conjugation      

    D)  transformation

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The RNA primer is used in replication of DNA. The new strands of DNA are formed in the 5 \[\to \] 2 direction from the 3 \[\to \]5 template DNA by the addition of deoxyribonucleotides to the 7 end of RNA primer. Translation is the process in living cells in which the genetic information encoded in nRNA in the form of a sequence of nucleotide triplets is translated into a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. It takes place on ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm. Conjugation is the fusion of two reproductive  cells, particularly, when these are both of the  same size. It is a form of sexual reproduction in some algae, some bacteria and ciliate protozoans. Transformation is a permanent heritable change in a cell, particularly a bacterial cell, that occurs as a  result of its acquiring foreign DNA.
