What is the role of RNA polymerase III in the process of transcription in Eukaryotes?
Transcription of tRNAs (28S, 18S and 5.8S)
Transcription of tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNA
Transcription of precursor of mRNA
Transcription of only snRNAs
To solve this problem, we need to identify the role of RNA polymerase III in eukaryotic transcription. Let's analyze the options:Option 1: Transcription of tRNAs (28S, 18S and 5.8S) - This option is incorrect because 28S, 18S, and 5.8S rRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase I, not RNA polymerase III.Option 2: Transcription of tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNA - RNA polymerase III is responsible for transcribing tRNA, 5S rRNA, and some small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). - This option correctly describes the role of RNA polymerase III.Option 3: Transcription of precursor of mRNA - This option is incorrect because the precursor of mRNA (pre-mRNA) is transcribed by RNA polymerase II.Option 4: Transcription of only snRNAs - This option is incorrect because RNA polymerase III transcribes more than just snRNAs; it also transcribes tRNA and 5S rRNA.Therefore, the correct role of RNA polymerase III in eukaryotic transcription is described by Option 2: Transcription of tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNA.
