What is the role of RNA polymerase III in the process of transcription in Eukaryotes?
AI-generated explanation. Check against your textbook.
Explanation:
In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase III transcribes small RNA molecules: tRNA genes, 5S rRNA, and many snRNA genes. This matches option 3. RNA polymerase I transcribes most rRNAs (28S, 18S, 5.8S), and RNA polymerase II transcribes precursors of mRNA and most snRNA and microRNA genes, not the ones listed for Pol III.
๐ง Did You Know?
Pol III products include structural RNAs essential for protein synthesis and RNA processing, such as tRNA and 5S rRNA.
๐ก NCERT Memory Line:
RNA polymerase III transcribes tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNA (small RNAs).
Given below are two statements: Statement I: RNA mutates at a faster rate. Statement II: Viruses having RNA genome and shorter life span mutate and evolve faster.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Given below are two statements: Statement I: In prokaryotes, the positively charged DNA is held with some negatively charged proteins in a region called
nucleoid. Statement II: In eukaryotes, the negatively charged DNA is wrapped around the positively charged histone octamer to form nucleosome.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
