Question
Where does RNA polymerase attach to DNA?
Open in App
Solution
Attachment of RNA polymerase to DNA:
RNA polymerase, by using a strand of DNA, synthesizes RNA.
RNA polymerase is referred to as an enzyme that copies the sequence present on
a
DNA template and replicate
s
it into an RNA sequence.
It is done by the process of transcription.
In the promoter region, RNA polymerase binds to the DNA template and begins the transcription.
Where RNA polymerase attaches to DNA, from there RNA transcription starts.
It leads to forming a new sequence of nucleotides for producing a complementary RNA molecule.
