What is the role of RNA ploymerase III in the process of transcription in eukaryotes?
A
Transcribes tRNA, 5s rRNA and sn RNA
B
Transcribes precursor of mRNA
C
Transcribes only snRNAs
D
Transcribes rRNAs (28S, 18S and 5.8S 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
RNA polymerase III is responsible for transcription of tRNA, 5 srRNA and snRNA
RNA polymerase II is responsible for transcription of mRNA precursor, the heterogenous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). RNA polymerase I is responsible for transcription of 28S , 18S and 5.8S rRNA.
