Detailed explanation-1: -The enzymes that perform transcription are called RNA polymerases. Like the DNA polymerase that catalyzes DNA replication (discussed in Chapter 5), RNA polymerases catalyze the formation of the phosphodiester bonds that link the nucleotides together to form a linear chain.
Detailed explanation-2: -RNA polymerases are enzymes that transcribe DNA into RNA. Using a DNA template, RNA polymerase builds a new RNA molecule through base pairing. For instance, if there is a G in the DNA template, RNA polymerase will add a C to the new, growing RNA strand.
Detailed explanation-3: -RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for copying a DNA sequence into an RNA sequence, duyring the process of transcription.
Detailed explanation-4: -RNA polymerase (RNAP) is the essential enzyme responsible for transcribing the genetic information stored in DNA to RNA.
Detailed explanation-5: -RNA polymerase, abbreviated RNAP and officially known as DNA-directed RNA polymerase, is found in all living organisms as well as many viruses. Present in bacteria, archaea, and even eukaryotes, these RNAPs all share similar protein core structures as well as mechanisms.
