A biochemist is studying the mechanism of DNA replication by stopping the reaction shortly after its initiation. Analysis of the products from the reaction in a gel reveals the presence of single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. The shorter fragments of DNA were found to be attached to a complementary sequence of 10 ribonucleotides. which of the following is the most likely explanation for the data?
A - Short fragments of mRNA bind at random to available single-stranded DNA sequences in the cell
B - tRNAs bind to available single-stranded DNA sequences in the cell
C - Short ribonucleotide sequences are the primers for DNA polymerases
D - Short sequences of RNA attached to DNA represent an artifact of the isolation procedure

I'm thinking it is C, not so sure tho
