The binding of ________ is required for transcription to start. 1. a protein 2. DNA polymerase 3. RNA polymerase 4. a transcription factor

3. RNA polymerase.RNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesises RNA using DNA as a template. As a result, the transcription (synthesis of RNA) cannot begin without RNA polymerase.
