Given below are two statements: Statement I: In eukaryotes, there are three RNA polymerases in the nucleus in addition to the RNA polymerase found in the organelle. Statement II: All the three RNA polymerases in eukaryotic nucleus have different roles. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Both Statement I and Statement II is correct.
Both Statement I and Statement II is incorrect.
According to the text, in eukaryotes, there are at least three RNA polymerases in the nucleus (in addition to the RNA polymerase found in the organelles). There is a clear-cut division of labour among them: RNA polymerase I transcribes rRNAs, RNA polymerase II transcribes hnRNA (precursor of mRNA), and RNA polymerase III transcribes tRNA, 5S rRNA, and snRNAs . Thus, both statements are correct.
