Question

(c) Write the number of RNA polymerases involved in the transcription of DNA in a prokaryote and eukaryotes.

Hint:

Eukaryotic cells use three specialized RNA polymerases for different types of RNA, while prokaryotes rely on a single RNA polymerase.

Answer 1

Prokaryotes: One RNA polymerase is involved in transcription. Eukaryotes: Three RNA polymerases (RNA polymerase I, II, and III) are involved in transcription.
