Question

dna-dependent rna polymerase makes a complementary strand of nucleic acid that is then used for translation. the process carried out by this enzyme is called

Answer 1

Answer: Transcription

Step-by-step explanation:

The Transcription unit generally contains 3 regions

1. A promoter

2. Structural genes

3. Terminator

Since the strands have opposite polarity the DNA dependent RNA polymerase also catalyze this in one direction that 5 - 3 then the strands that has the polarity 3' - 5' act as a template and is referred as template strand. The other strand that has polarity 5' - 3' is displaced during transcription.
