Question

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

Hint:

Prokaryotes use a single RNA polymerase for all types of RNA synthesis, while eukaryotes use three distinct RNA polymerases for different types of RNA transcription (I for rRNA, II for mRNA, and III for tRNA).

Answer 1

Prokaryotes: One RNA polymerase. Eukaryotes: Three RNA polymerases (RNA polymerase I, II, and III).
