The enzyme helpful in polymerizing RNA with defined sequences in a template-independent manner is:
Updated On: Nov 4, 2024
- Mononucleotide phosphorylase
- Polynucleotide phosphorylase
- RNA polymerase - I
- DNA-dependent RNA polymerase
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Polynucleotide phosphorylase can synthesize RNA without a DNA template, which allows it to polymerize RNA in a template-independent manner. This characteristic distinguishes it from most other RNA polymerases, which generally require a template to function.
