Answer:

RNA Polymerase plays an important role in the process called transcription which result in the in the synthesis of RNA from DNA molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA polymerase helps in the addition of ribonucleotides in the growing RNA strans that is synthesized from template DNA .

one ribonucleotide is joined to the adjacent ribonucleotide by the formation of phosphodiester bond.

RNA polymerase is named so because this enzyme helps in the polymerization of ribonucleotides leading to the formation of a Primary RNA transcript.
