2/8 Explain the role of RNA polymerase in transcription. RNA polymerase is not involved in transcription. RNA polymerase helps in replicating the RNA into DNA. RNA polymerase helps in transcribing the DNA into RNA. RNA polymerase breaks down the DNA into smaller fragments.

The correct answer is: **RNA polymerase helps in transcribing the DNA into RNA.**<br /><br />RNA polymerase is the key enzyme responsible for transcription. It binds to a specific region of DNA called the promoter, unwinds the DNA double helix, and then synthesizes a complementary RNA molecule using one of the DNA strands as a template. The other options are incorrect.<br />
