What is the role of RNA polymerase III in the process of transcription in eukaryotes?

  1. A
    Transcribes precursor of mRNA
  2. B
    Transcribes only snRNAs
  3. C
    Transcribes rRNAs (28S, 18S and 5.8S)
  4. D
    Transcribes tRNA, 5s rRNA and snRNAs

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In eukaryotes, there is a division of labour among RNA polymerases:RNA Pol I: Transcribes rRNAs ().RNA Pol II: Transcribes hnRNA (precursor of mRNA).RNA Pol III: Responsible for transcription of tRNA, 5S rRNA, and snRNAs.
