D
RNA polymerase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template.
Identify the role of enzymes in transcription, which is to catalyze the formation of RNA strands.
Recognize that RNA polymerase is the enzyme complex responsible for reading the DNA template and synthesizing the corresponding RNA strand.
Differentiate RNA polymerase from other enzymes like helicase, which unwinds DNA, and DNA ligase, which joins DNA fragments.
Conclude that the enzyme complex responsible for RNA synthesis during transcription is RNA polymerase.
