Promiscuous

In promiscuous mating systems, each male or female may mate with multiple partners.

Chimpanzees, bonobos and Intertidal and terrestrial mollusks

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

A preformed RNA (often a tRNA) pairs with the template, allowing its 3'-0H end to be used to prime DNA synthesis.

Priming activity is required to provide 3'-0H ends to start off the DNA chains on both the leading and lagging strands.

The use of a single type of catalytic subunit, however, may be atypical. In the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, there are two different catalytic subunits.

PolC is the homolog to E. coli's DnaE, and is responsible for synthesizing the leading strand.

A related protein, DnaE8 s. is the catalytic subunit that synthesizes the lagging strand.
