The Enzyme Principally Responsible for RNA Synthesis in Escherichia Coli

Question

The enzyme principally responsible for RNA synthesis in Escherichia coli A) is a multisubunit enzyme B) consists of a single polypeptide chain C) requires Mn²⁺ for activity D) requires a DNA primer

Accepted Answer

The enzyme principally responsible for RNA synthesis in Escherichia coli is RNA polymerase, which is a multisubunit enzyme. It has several subunits that work together to catalyze the formation of RNA from a DNA template.
