Which statement is true about the relative number of accessory proteins necessary for RNA polymerization in eukaryotes versus E.coli?
A)Eukaryotes require many more accessory proteins.
B)They require about the same number of accessory proteins.
C)Eukaryotes require far fewer accessory proteins.
D)The number required varies widely by species.Some eukaryotes require less than E.coli and some require more.

RNA polymerization in eukaryotes is a more complex process than in E.coli, and requires the involvement of many more accessory proteins. These additional proteins are necessary to facilitate the transcription of genes in the context of chromatin, and to ensure that the correct promoter sequences are recognized and that transcription is regulated appropriately. Some eukaryotes may require fewer accessory proteins than others, but in general, more are required than in E.coli. Thus, option A is the correct choice.
