What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?

1 Answer

RNA polymerase plays a crucial role in transcription:

  • It binds to the promoter region of DNA
  • Unwinds the DNA double helix
  • Synthesizes RNA by adding complementary ribonucleotides
  • Moves along the template DNA strand
  • Terminates transcription at the terminator sequence

This process creates a complementary RNA strand from the DNA template.
