Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
Identify the process of transcription, where the information in DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA).
Recall that transcription requires an enzyme that can synthesize RNA using a DNA template; this enzyme reads the DNA sequence and builds a complementary RNA strand.
Recognize that DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA, not RNA, and ribosomes are involved in translation, not transcription.
Conclude that the enzyme responsible for synthesizing mRNA from a DNA template during transcription is RNA polymerase, specifically DNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
