Which of the following statements is true about RNA polymerase?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA polymerase binds to promoter sequences in DNA to initiate transcription. It uses the DNA template to synthesize RNA molecules by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand of DNA. RNA polymerase does not make DNA sequences, nor does it use an RNA template to do so. Additionally, it produces RNA strands containing U bases, not T bases. Finally, it stops making new RNA molecules when it encounters a termination sequence, not DNA sequences.
