Question

What is RNA polymerase and explain what it does

Answer 1

DescriptionRNA polymerase, abbreviated RNAP or RNApol, officially DNA-directed RNA polymerase, is an enzyme that synthesizes RNA from a DNA template.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

RNA polymerase is a multi subunit enzyme that catalyzes the process of transcription.

Step-by-step explanation:

The central dogma of biology has looked at RNA as a messenger molecule, that exports the information coded into DNA out of the nucleus in order to drive the synthesis of proteins in the cytoplasm: DNA → RNA → Protein.

So in other words, it's responsible for copying a DNA sequence into an RNA sequence, during the process of transcription.
