Best Answer

RNA primers are used to initiate the DNA replication at the template strand. DNA molecules require a free 3' OH, to which it could add the nucleotides. This free 3' OH is provided by the RNA primer. So prior to the synthesis of DNA a short fragment of RNA is synthesized that is later excised and filled with DNA molecules.
