Depending upon the chemical nature of the template (DNA or RNA) and the nature of nucleic acids synthesised from it (DNA or RNA), list the types of nucleic acid polymerases.

Q.

Depending upon the chemical nature of the template (DNA or RNA) and the nature of nucleic acids synthesised from it (DNA or RNA), list the types of nucleic acid polymerases.

Q. Polynucleotides are called nucleic acids. Each nucleotide is made up of three parts, i.e, a pentose sugar, a heterocyclic nitrogenous base and phosphoric acid. Depending upon the nature of sugar whether, ribose or deoxyribose, nucleic acids are called RNA and DNA respectively. In all, there are five nitrogenous bases, two of which are purines while the remaining three are pyrimidines. Out of these five bases, each type of nucleic acid has four of them.

Which of the following sets of bases is present in both DNA and RNA?
