Transcription of the 5S rRNA gene occurs by ________ covering the entire gene so that pol III can ____________.
A)TFIIB; transcribe the gene several times before dissociating
B)TFIIIC; transcribe the gene several times before dissociating
C)TFIIB; transcribe both strands of DNA before dissociating
D)TFIIIC; transcribe both strands of DNA before dissociating
E)none of the above

Transcription of the 5S rRNA gene occurs with TFIIIC covering the entire gene so that pol III can transcribe the gene several times before dissociating. This is different from other genes where TFIIB covers the gene and transcribes both strands of DNA before dissociating.
