the enzyme involved in building new rna strands in transcription is
a) rna polymerase
b) dna polymerase
c) lipase
d) ligase

Explanation:

• RNA polymerase: This enzyme is responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template during transcription. It reads the DNA sequence and builds a complementary RNA strand.
• DNA polymerase: Involved in DNA replication, not transcription. It synthesizes DNA strands.
• Lipase: An enzyme that breaks down lipids (fats), not related to nucleic acid synthesis.
• Ligase: Joins DNA fragments, not involved in building new RNA strands in transcription.

Answer:

A. RNA polymerase
