B)RNA polymerase transcribes genes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
C)Gene transcription involves initiation,elongation,and termination in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
D)The complexity of protein components involved in transcription is similar for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
E)The initiation of transcription in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes involves the interactions of more than one protein.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complexity of protein components involved in transcription is different for prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes have a simpler transcriptional machinery with only one type of RNA polymerase, whereas eukaryotes have multiple types of RNA polymerases and require additional transcription factors for initiation.
