In the process of transcription in eukaryotes, the RNA polymerase I transcribes
Options
- AmRNA with additional processing, capping and tailing
- Bt RNA , 5 s srRNA and snRNAs
- CrRNAs-28 S, 18 ~S and 5.8 ~S
- Dprecursor of m RNA , h n RNA
Correct answer
C. rRNAs-28 S, 18 ~S and 5.8 ~S
Step-by-step solution
In the process of transcription (i.e. copying of genetic information from one strand of the DNA into RNA) in eukaryotes, the RNA polymerase I transcribes rRNA - 28S, 18S and 5.8S. On the other hand, tRNA, 5srRNA and snRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase III. RNA polymerase II transcribes precursor of mRNA, hnRNA.
