Question

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 organelles.
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:

• A. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• B. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
• C. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
• D. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Eukaryotes have three nuclear RNA polymerases (I, II, and III), each with distinct roles in transcribing different types of RNA. Mitochondria and chloroplasts also have their own RNA polymerases. Thus, both statements are correct.
