promoter The promoter is the region of DNA to which RNA polymerase binds to in order to initiate transcription.

During DNA replication, DNA polymerase binds free DNA nucleotides to an unzipped DNA strand. During transcription, RNA polymerase binds free RNA nucleotides to the unzipped anti-sense DNA strand.
During transcription, RNA Polymerase binds with upstream of the gene that is to be transcribed into mRNA. This causes the double helix shape of the DNA to unwind. Then, RNA Polymerase uses the template strand of the DNA as guide and synthesizes a complementary mRNA strand using ribonucleotides. Basically, without RNA Polymerase, mRNA would not be synthesized.
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
promoter The promoter is the region of DNA to which RNA polymerase binds to in order to initiate transcription.

RNA Polymerase
The promoter region has no role in translation. It is the site where RNA Polymerase binds to initiate transcription. Basically, talking about bacteria, a protein called sigma70 binds to the promoter and recruits the RNA Polymerase enzyme. After the RNA Pol is recruited, the sigma70 factor is released and RNA Polymerase synthesizes the complementary mRNA from the DNA that is being transcribed.
RNA polymerase binds to one of several specificity factors, to form a holoenzyme. In this form, it can recognize and bind to specific regions in the DNA.The -35 region and the -10 region comprise the basic prokaryotic promoter, where the RNA Polymerase binds. The DNA on the template strand between the +1 site and the terminator is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into a protein. At this stage, the DNA is double-stranded ("closed"). This holoenzyme/wound-DNA structure is referred to as the closed complex.
RNA polymerase's main job is to transcribe mRNA from double stranded DNA. It does so by recognizing promoter region in ds DNA and binds over there. Sigma factor is a subunit of RNA polymerase that helps in locating promoter region. RNA polymerase simply synthesized complimentary base pairs from DNA template and makes mRNA. so there is no need of primer at all.
DNA helicase is the enzyme that aids DNA in unzipping during transcription.
the RNA polymerase attaches to the promoter and transcribes the gene in messenger RNA, or mRNA
