1) The enzyme that synthesizes strands of RNA during gene transcription.
RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for making RNA from a DNA template.
2) RNA polymerase, also known as DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, is an enzyme that produces RNA. In cells, RNAP is necessary for constructing RNA chains using DNA genes as templates, a process called transcription.
