alleryWhich RNA polymerase in eukaryotes transcribes 5S rRNA, tRNA and snRNAs?
ARNA polymerase I
BRNA polymerase II
CMitochondrial RNA pol
DRNA polymerase III
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. RNA polymerase III
Pol I -> 28S, 18S, 5.8S rRNAs.
Pol II -> hnRNA (mRNA precursor).
Pol III -> tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNAs.
Organellar polymerases are separate.
