Answer :

The RNA polymerase enzyme binds to a promoter to initiate the process of transcription.

What is transcription?

Transcription is a biological process during which the genetic information present on a DNA strand is transcribed to genetic codes in a messenger RNA.

During the transcription of a gene, the coding strand of DNA unwinds and the RNA polymerase enzymes bind to a region on the DNA that specifies the beginning of the gene to be transcribed, otherwise known as the promoter region.

After the binding of the RNA polymerase, a primer also binds to complete the initiation complex. The RNA polymerase enzyme is responsible for elongating the primer by adding RNA nucleotides that are complementary to the sequence of nucleotides on the gene being transcribed.

At the end of the transcription process, the RNA polymerase disenages and the mRNA synthesized is processed.
