How does RNA polymerase read DNA to transcribe genetic information into RNA?

Answer 1

By initially attaching itself to a promoter region on the DNA, RNA polymerase converts DNA into RNA. In order to create a complementary RNA strand in the 5' to 3' direction, it unwinds the DNA and reads the template strand in the 3' to 5' direction. A with U, T with A, C with G, and G with C are the RNA nucleotides that match the DNA. RNA polymerase separates from the DNA and releases the freshly created RNA when it receives a termination signal.

Answer 2

RNA polymerase reads DNA by recognizing specific sequences called promoters, which signal the start of a gene. Once bound to the promoter, RNA polymerase unwinds the DNA double helix and begins transcribing the genetic information into RNA by adding complementary RNA nucleotides. This process continues until a termination signal is reached, resulting in the production of a complete RNA transcript.
