Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
Recall that transcription is the process where RNA is synthesized from a DNA template.
Identify the enzyme responsible for catalyzing transcription; this enzyme reads the DNA template strand and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand.
Recognize that DNA polymerase is involved in DNA replication, not transcription, and ribosomes are involved in translation, not transcription.
Conclude that RNA polymerase is the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template during transcription.
