NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 104
What is the role of RNA polymerase III in the process of transcription in Eukaryotes?
- Option A:Correct
Transcription of tRNA, 5 srRNA and snRNA
- Option B:
Transcription of precursor of mRNA
- Option C:
Transcription of only snRNAs
- Option D:
Transcription of rRNAs (28S, 18S and
Answer: A
Step-by-step solution
In eukaryotes there are three major types of RNA polymerases.
RNA polymerase I transcribes : 5.8S, 18S, 28S rRNAs
RNA polymerase II transcribes : hnRNAs (precurssor of mRNA)
RNA polymerase III transcribes : tRNAs, ScRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNA
