Does translation require RNA polymerase

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-01] [Hit: ]
Meaning, transcription and translation occur at the same time. So while RNAP produces the RNA, a ribosome immediately starts translation of the RNA to protein.The answer to your question is No. RNAP is not involved in translation.......
I know its required for transcription, but is it required for translation too or does the ribosome sorta take over for its job?

RNA polymerase (RNAP) is not involved in translation. RNAP is required only for transcription. In bacteria, transcription/translation are coupled. Meaning, transcription and translation occur at the same time. So while RNAP produces the RNA, a ribosome immediately starts translation of the RNA to protein.

The answer to your question is No. RNAP is not involved in translation.

The ribosome takes over, but the ribosome is itself RNA, so there needs to be an RNA polymerase to make the ribosome before translation. That's probably not relevant to your question, but thought I'd throw it out there.

no, RNA polymerase only plays a role in the transcription not in translation
