Which of the following statements about prokaryotic RNA polymerases is correct? Group of answer choices They require primers to initiate transcription. RNA polymerase uses the coding strand as template to make mRNA. They transcribe both introns and exons Primase is not needed in prokaryotes. They need to bind to nucleotide sequences on DNA known as promoter regions before DNA can be transcribed.

Statement 1: "They require primers to initiate transcription." - This statement is incorrect. Prokaryotic RNA polymerases do not require primers to initiate transcription. They can directly bind to the DNA and start transcription. Statement 2: "RNA polymerase Show more…

Which of the following statements correctly describes eukaryotic transcription as opposed to prokaryotic transcription? Select all that apply. The eukaryotic RNA polymerase are able to recognize and bind to promoters directly. The eukaryotic transcription machinery must have mechanisms to overcome inhibition by nucleosomes. pre-mRNA must be processed in order to yield a mature mRNA The prokaryotic RNA polymerase has more subunits than the eukaryotic RNA polymerase.

Eukaryotic RNA polymerase finishes transcription before translation begins. c. Eukaryotic RNA polymerase determines the sequence of the mRNA by base pairing to the DNA. d. Eukaryotic RNA polymerase does not require a primer. e. Eukaryotic RNA polymerase occurs in the nucleus.

Which of the following is NOT TRUE of RNA polymerase? Group of answer choices it initiates RNA synthesis by binding to a sequence in DNA called the promoter it synthesizes RNA using a DNA template it synthesizes RNA in the 5' to 3' direction it uses ribonucleotide triphosphates as the precursor for RNA synthesis it requires a primer in order to synthesize RNA
