Transcription in eukaryotes differs from RNA synthesis in prokaryotes
A) by requiring a primer.
B) by simplifying the process with multifunctional enzymes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic transcription involves multiple RNA polymerases (RNA polymerase I, II, and III) that are responsible for synthesizing different types of RNA, whereas prokaryotes typically have a single RNA polymerase that carries out the synthesis of all RNA.
