Question

While making cDNA, the roles of DNA polymerase & reverse transcriptase are similar. Which of the following statements is incorrect?

a. both enzymes synthesize in the 5' > 3' direction

b. both enzymes synthesize nucleic acid

c. both enzymes require a primer to start synthesis

d. both enzymes create phosphodiester bonds

e. both enzymes read an RNA template

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer to be:

Option A) both enzymes synthesize in the 5' > 3' direction
Option B) both enzymes synthesize nucleic acid
Option C) both enzymes require a primer to start synthesis
Option D) both enzymes create phosphodiester bonds

As all these statements are correct for both DNA polymerase and Reverse transcriptase.
