Question
Name the three RNA polymerases found in eukaryotic cells and mention their functions.

Answer

In eukaryotes, there are three RNA-polymerases:
  1. RNA-polymerase I catalyses transcription of rRNAs (28S, 185 and 5.85).
  2. RNA-polymerase II catalyses transcription of the precursor of mRNA; it is called hnRNA.
  3. RNA- polymerase III catalyses transcription of RNA, 5SrRNA and shRNAs.
