Which of the following statements about eukaryotic RNA polymerases is true?
A
RNA polymerase I transcribes mRNA.
B
RNA polymerase II transcribes tRNA.
C
RNA polymerase II is responsible for transcribing mRNA.
D
RNA polymerase III transcribes rRNA.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of RNA polymerases in eukaryotic cells. RNA polymerases are enzymes responsible for transcribing DNA into RNA.
Identify the three main types of eukaryotic RNA polymerases: RNA polymerase I, RNA polymerase II, and RNA polymerase III.
Learn the specific function of each RNA polymerase: RNA polymerase I transcribes rRNA, RNA polymerase II transcribes mRNA, and RNA polymerase III transcribes tRNA and some other small RNAs.
Evaluate the statements given in the problem based on the functions of each RNA polymerase. Determine which statement correctly matches the function of RNA polymerase II.
Conclude that the correct statement is: RNA polymerase II is responsible for transcribing mRNA, based on the known functions of eukaryotic RNA polymerases.
