Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which enzyme is responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template?
  • Step 1: Understand that DNA contains the instructions for making proteins.
  • Step 2: Know that RNA is a molecule that helps in the process of making proteins.
  • Step 3: Learn that transcription is the process where RNA is made from a DNA template.
  • Step 4: Identify that RNA polymerase is the specific enzyme that carries out transcription.
  • Step 5: Conclude that RNA polymerase reads the DNA and synthesizes RNA based on that information.
