Question
what is the function of rna polymerase in protein synthesis? it brings the trna to the ribosome. it bonds the dna strand. it unzips the dna strand. it translates the dna strand.
RNA polymerase is involved in transcription, the first - step of protein synthesis. It binds to the DNA strand and uses it as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA strand. It does not bring tRNA to the ribosome (that's the role of the ribosome - tRNA interaction during translation), unzip DNA (helicase does that), or translate DNA (translation occurs at the ribosome with mRNA and tRNA).
