Question

The function of RNA polymerase is to _________.

a. catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds between ribonucleotides.
b. activate tRNAs.
c. cleave mRNA to remove introns.
d. catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds between deoxyribonucleotids.

Answer 1

The correct answer will be option-A.

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA polymerase is the enzymes which perform the process of transcription that synthesizes the RNA from one strand of the DNA.

These polymerase moves step-wise along the DNA strand adding one nucleotide in 5′-to-3′ direction. They catalyze the reaction by forming the phosphodiester bond between two nucleotides using the energy from the high energy bonds of ATP and form the linear RNA.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.
