DNA polymerase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template.
Recognize that there are different types of RNA polymerases in eukaryotic cells, each responsible for synthesizing different types of RNA.
Identify that RNA polymerase I is primarily responsible for synthesizing rRNA (ribosomal RNA).
Note that RNA polymerase II is mainly responsible for synthesizing mRNA (messenger RNA).
Conclude that RNA polymerase III is responsible for synthesizing tRNA (transfer RNA) during transcription.
