Question

In what way is eukaryotic transcription more complex than prokaryotic transcription?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. eukaryotes have three different RNA polymerases, whereas prokaryotes only have one RNA polymerase

Explanation:

The initiation represents the beginning of RNA production. Initially, RNA polymerase (transcription catalyzing enzyme) recognizes in DNA the so-called promoter regions. In prokaryotes, there is only one type of RNA polymerase; In eukaryotes, three RNA polymerases are described, and thus the transcription process in this group is more complex.

In the initiation step, we also observe the opening of the DNA strand, a process known as unfolding. This opening occurs because of the rupture between the connections that arise between the bases.
