Transcription in eukaryotes requires which of the following molecules in addition to RNA polymerase?
A) anticodons
B) ribosomes and tRNA
C) several transcription factors
D) aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription in eukaryotes requires several transcription factors to facilitate the binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter region of the DNA.

Answer: B
 While ribosomes and tRNA are necessary for translation (not transcription), they are often included as choices in multiple-choice questions to test for knowledge of the differences between the two processes.

Answers A and D are incorrect as they are not involved in the process of transcription.
