binds to the template strand of DNA during the initiation of transcription.

Answer 1

In the initiation of transcription, **RNA polymerase** binds to the template strand of DNA. This enzyme synthesizes RNA by using the DNA template strand to create a complementary RNA strand during the process of transcription. Additionally, transcription factors may also play a role in helping RNA polymerase to bind to the promoter region of the gene to initiate transcription.
