Question

Which of the following statements regarding RNA polymerase is FALSE. RNA polymerase has many subunits. RNA polymerase binds to a promoter to initiate transcription. RNA polymerase adds ribonucleotides to the 3' end of a growing RNA molecule. RNA polymerase reads a template strand of DNA from the 5' to 3' direction.

Answer 1

Answer:

B- RNA polymerase binds to a promoter to initiate transcription

Explanation:

Unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase does not require a 3′-OH group to add nucleotides, so a primer is not needed during initiation.
