Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription in prokaryotes is carried out by RNA polymerase, which unwinds and transcribes genes. RNA synthetase is involved in translation, not transcription. RNA polymerase II and III are present in eukaryotes, not prokaryotes. Transcription factors are also present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, but they do not unwind or transcribe the gene.
