  • What is a key difference between transcription and DNA replication?
    Transcription produces RNA from one DNA strand, while DNA replication copies both DNA strands to make new DNA.
  • What is the process in which RNA is synthesized from DNA?
    The process in which RNA is synthesized from DNA is called transcription.
  • What does RNA polymerase do during transcription?
    RNA polymerase reads the DNA template strand and synthesizes a complementary RNA molecule.
  • What is the template for RNA synthesis?
    The template for RNA synthesis is one strand of DNA, called the template strand.
  • Which enzyme is responsible for RNA synthesis?
    RNA polymerase is responsible for RNA synthesis.
  • How does RNA polymerase differ from DNA polymerase?
    RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA using DNA as a template, while DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA using DNA as a template.
  • What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?
    RNA polymerase's role in transcription is to synthesize RNA from the DNA template strand.
  • In what direction does RNA polymerase move along the DNA?
    RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction, synthesizing RNA in the 5' to 3' direction.
  • What is the role of RNA polymerase during transcription?
    During transcription, RNA polymerase synthesizes a complementary RNA strand from the DNA template.
  • What is the function of RNA polymerase?
    The function of RNA polymerase is to catalyze the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
  • What is the job of RNA polymerase?
    The job of RNA polymerase is to transcribe DNA into RNA.
  • What is the function of RNA polymerase?
    RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA by reading the DNA template strand.
  • What is the process by which RNA is made from DNA?
    The process by which RNA is made from DNA is called transcription.
  • RNA polymerase moves in which direction along the DNA?
    RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction.
  • Which direction does RNA polymerase move?
    RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction.
  • What is the main purpose of RNA polymerase during transcription?
    The main purpose of RNA polymerase during transcription is to synthesize RNA from a DNA template.
  • What is one role of RNA polymerase during transcription?
    One role of RNA polymerase during transcription is to catalyze the formation of an RNA strand complementary to the DNA template.
  • Which enzyme is responsible for RNA synthesis?
    RNA polymerase is responsible for RNA synthesis.
  • In which direction does RNA polymerase move along the DNA?
    RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction.
  • What is the process by which RNA is made from DNA called?
    The process by which RNA is made from DNA is called transcription.
  • What is the process by which RNA is synthesized from DNA?
    The process by which RNA is synthesized from DNA is transcription.
  • RNA polymerase is which type of molecule?
    RNA polymerase is an enzyme.
  • In which direction does RNA polymerase read the DNA template?
    RNA polymerase reads the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction.
  • What is the function of RNA polymerase?
    RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template.
  • What role does RNA polymerase play in transcription?
    RNA polymerase transcribes DNA into RNA by synthesizing a complementary RNA strand.
  • What is the function of RNA polymerase in transcription?
    The function of RNA polymerase in transcription is to synthesize RNA from the DNA template strand.
  • What type of RNA is made during transcription?
    During transcription, messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA) can be made, depending on the RNA polymerase.
  • What enzyme binds to DNA during transcription?
    RNA polymerase binds to DNA during transcription.
  • What does the enzyme RNA polymerase do?
    RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA by reading the DNA template strand.
  • What enzyme is responsible for RNA synthesis?
    RNA polymerase is responsible for RNA synthesis.
  • What is the definition of RNA polymerase?
    RNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.
  • What are the functions of RNA polymerase?
    RNA polymerase functions to bind to DNA, unwind the DNA, and synthesize a complementary RNA strand.
  • In what direction does RNA polymerase move?
    RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand in the 3' to 5' direction.
  • What is the base pairing rule for DNA to mRNA during transcription?
    During transcription, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U), thymine (T) pairs with adenine (A), cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C) in mRNA.
  • What enzyme creates mRNA from DNA?
    RNA polymerase creates mRNA from DNA.
  • What molecule transcribes the gene?
    RNA polymerase transcribes the gene.
