RNA Polymerase is a Processive Enzyme Which Means That

Question

RNA polymerase is a processive enzyme which means that
A)it binds loosely to the DNA so it can slip off after each nucleotide.
B)it binds tightly to DNA so it only associates with one nucleotide.
C)it attaches to DNA for long stretches and moves from nucleotide to nucleotide.
D)it processes DNA templates into RNA or DNA.
E)it rapidly processes the entire DNA template at once.

Accepted Answer

RNA polymerase is a processive enzyme that attaches to DNA for long stretches and moves from nucleotide to nucleotide. This allows for the efficient transcription of RNA from the DNA template.
