What is RNA Polymerase’ role in epigenetics
A
RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for copying a DNA sequence into an RNA sequence
B
RNA polymerase is an enzyme that unzips DNA
C
RNA polymerase is a protein that reads DNA
D
RNA polymerase is a gene responsible for cancer
Explanation: 

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: -The RNA polymerase is the main enzyme involved in transcription. It uses single-strand DNA to synthesize a complementary RNA strand. RNA is further used to synthesize proteins in the process of translation.
