During transcription, which enzyme is responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template?
Correct Answer: RNA polymerase
- Step 1: Understand that transcription is the process of making RNA from a DNA template.
- Step 2: Identify the enzyme that carries out this process.
- Step 3: Learn that the enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA is called RNA polymerase.
- Step 4: Remember that RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and builds the RNA strand.
- Transcription – The process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template.
- RNA Polymerase – The enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of RNA during transcription.
