Solution

RNA polymerase:

  1. The RNA polymerase is the main enzyme involved in transcription.
  2. It uses single-strand DNA to synthesize a complementary RNA strand.
  3. To convert DNA to RNA, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcriptions require the same enzyme, RNA polymerase.
  4. For all types of RNA transcription, prokaryotes use a single RNA polymerase.
