Answer:

catalyze the process of transcription from DNA to RNA

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA polymerase recognizes the promoter and binds directly to the gene sequence.

The polymerase is inserted at the right points to start transcription and also ensures that the RNA polymerase is in the right direction.

The polymerase goes through the chain, transcribing DNA to RNA until it finds the stop sequence, which contains nitrogenous bases that indicate the end of the transcription process. RNA polymerase binds to sequences at a site called a promoter region .
