In dna replication in e. coli, the enzyme primase is used to attach a 5 to 10 base ribonucleotide strand complementary to the parental dna strand. the rna strand serves as a starting point for the dna polymerase that replicates the dna. if a mutation occurred in the primase gene, which of the following results would you expect?

Replication would not occur on either the leading or lagging strand.
