Which enzyme is required for the synthesis of mRNA?
A) RNA polymerase
B) helicase
C) transcriptase
D) DNA polymerase
E) RNA nucleotide

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template during transcription, including the synthesis of mRNA. Helicase is involved in unwinding and separating double-stranded DNA during replication and transcription, but not in the synthesis of RNA. Transcriptase is not a specific enzyme, and could refer to any enzyme involved in transcription. DNA polymerase is involved in DNA replication, not mRNA synthesis. RNA nucleotides are the building blocks of RNA, but not the enzyme responsible for joining them together to form mRNA.
