Match List-I with List-II regarding the division of labour among RNA polymerases in eukaryotes. List-I List-II A. RNA Polymerase I I. Transcribes precursor of mRNA (hnRNA) B. RNA Polymerase II II. Transcribes tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNAs C. RNA Polymerase III III. Transcribes rRNAs (28S, 18S, 5.8S) Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AA-I, B-II, C-III
  2. BA-III, B-I, C-II
  3. CA-II, B-I, C-III
  4. DA-I, B-III, C-II

Correct answer

B. A-III, B-I, C-II

Step-by-step solution

In eukaryotes, there is a clear division of labour among the three types of RNA polymerases found in the nucleus: 1. RNA polymerase I is responsible for transcribing rRNAs (28S, 18S, and 5.8S). Thus, A matches with III. 2. RNA polymerase II transcribes the precursor of mRNA, which is the heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). Thus, B matches with I. 3. RNA polymerase III is responsible for the transcription of tRNA, 5S rRNA, and snRNAs (small nuclear RNAs). Thus, C matches with II. Therefore, the correct matching is A-
