Which is the function of RNA polymerase enzyme during the Transcription?

Question

The options are

A) unwinds the double helix

B) Matches nucleotide pairs

C) Join DNA to RNA primer

D) Synthesize the mRNA

Answer 1

Hi Jason,

RNA polymerase functions in transcription by transcribing an RNA strand that is complementary to the template DNA strand. This resulting RNA strand can either be mRNA (messenger RNA) or non-coding RNA. Based on the answer choices you are given, I am going to assume the product we will be looking at is mRNA. The mRNA strand that is created by RNA polymerase during transcription contains the genetic information necessary to create protein products (the basis of translation).

Hopefully this helps.
