What is the role of RNA polymerase in transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from the DNA template.

Front

What are the three types of RNA?

Back

The three types of RNA are mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back
