Which one of the following CORRECTLY lists the components necessary for eukaryotic transcription?
A)RNA polymerase, general transcription factors, DNA, and RNA nucleotides
B)RNA polymerase, general transcription factors, DNA, and DNA nucleotides
C)ribosomes, general transcription factors, DNA, and DNA nucleotides
D)ribosomes, general transcription factors, DNA, and RNA nucleotides

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic transcription requires RNA polymerase to catalyze the synthesis of RNA using RNA nucleotides as a template from DNA. General transcription factors are necessary for RNA polymerase to locate the promoter region of DNA and initiate transcription. DNA serves as the template for RNA synthesis, and RNA nucleotides are the building blocks for RNA synthesis. Ribosomes are not involved in transcription, but rather translation.
