Multiple Choice
In an overview of transcription, which enzyme binds to DNA and synthesizes an RNA strand complementary to the DNA template?
A
DNA polymerase
B
Helicase
C
RNA polymerase
D
Ligase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of transcription, which is the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
Identify the enzyme responsible for binding to the DNA and synthesizing the RNA strand during transcription.
Recall that DNA polymerase is involved in DNA replication, not transcription.
Recognize that helicase unwinds the DNA double helix but does not synthesize RNA.
Know that RNA polymerase is the enzyme that binds to the DNA template strand and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand.
