Q. Enzyme required for transcribing genetic information of DNA into RNA is

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

Protein synthesis is the process of manufacturing protein from DNA involving two steps - transcription and translation. Transcription is the process of making mRNA from the DNA and this mRNA is translated into a long chain polypeptide with help of ribosome and tRNA. The strand of DNA from which the new mRNA is synthesized is called as template strand or non-coding or anti-sense strand. It is in the 3' $ \rightarrow $ 5' direction. The mRNA is synthesized on it in the 5' $ \rightarrow $ 3' with the help of DNA dependent RNA polymerase enzyme which leads in the same direction.
