Question

which best describes the order of actions by rna polymerase? a. makes mrna from dna, binds to dna, detaches b. makes mrna from dna, detaches, binds to dna c. binds to dna, detaches, makes mrna from dna d. binds to dna, makes mrna from dna, detaches

Explanation:

RNA polymerase first binds to the DNA at a specific region (promoter). Then it synthesizes mRNA from the DNA template through transcription. After the mRNA is synthesized, RNA polymerase detaches from the DNA.

Answer:

D. Binds to DNA, makes mRNA from DNA, detaches
