Question

The process of copying the genetic information from one strand of DNA into RNA is termed as transcription. The principle of complementarity of bases governs the process of transcription, also except that uracil comes in place of thymine. Study the complete transcription unit given below and answer the following questions:

Name the main enzyme involved in the process of transcription.

Hint:

RNA polymerase synthesizes the RNA strand using the template DNA strand, creating a complementary sequence that mirrors the coding strand (with uracil replacing thymine).

Answer 1

Name the main enzyme involved in the process of transcription.
- The main enzyme involved in the process of transcription is RNA polymerase.
- RNA polymerase synthesizes the RNA strand by adding RNA nucleotides complementary to the template strand of DNA
