Understand the role of RNA primers in DNA replication: RNA primers are short sequences of RNA nucleotides that provide a starting point for DNA synthesis.
Identify the function of each enzyme listed: Primase synthesizes RNA primers; DNA Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix; DNA Polymerase III extends the DNA strand by adding nucleotides.
Focus on the task of removing RNA primers: This task involves both removing the RNA nucleotides and replacing them with DNA nucleotides.
Recognize the specific enzyme responsible for this task: DNA Polymerase I has the unique ability to remove RNA primers and fill in the gaps with DNA nucleotides.
Conclude that DNA Polymerase I is the enzyme that performs the dual function of removing RNA primers and replacing them with DNA during DNA replication.
