An enzyme complex called RNA polymerase, also known as __________-dependent __________ polymerase, carries out the process of transcription.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA polymerase is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, as it uses DNA as a template to synthesize RNA during transcription. Choice A (RNA and DNA) and C (transcription and RNA) are partially correct but do not provide a complete answer. Choice B (transcription and DNA) is incorrect as transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from DNA, not the other way around. Choice E (translation and RNA) is also incorrect as translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from RNA, not the synthesis of RNA itself.
