In eukaryotes there are several different types of RNA polymerase. Which type is involved in transcription of mRNA for a globin protein?
A) RNA polymerase I
B) RNA polymerase II
C) RNA polymerase III
D) RNA polymerase IV
E) primase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA polymerase II is responsible for transcribing mRNA, including the mRNA for globin proteins. RNA polymerase I transcribes ribosomal RNA genes and RNA polymerase III transcribes transfer RNA genes. RNA polymerase IV is found in plants and is involved in small RNA synthesis. Primase is involved in DNA replication, not transcription.
