Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase in prokaryotes, which unwinds and transcribes the gene. DNA polymerase is responsible for DNA replication, not transcription. DNA helicase and DNA gyrase are involved in DNA unwinding but not transcription. RNA ligase seals nicks in RNA molecules, which is not directly related to transcription.
