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: Transcription utilizes one RNA polymerase. Eukaryotes: Transcription involves three RNA polymerases: RNA polymerase I, II, and III.
