    In transcription in eukaryotes, heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hn RNA) is transcribed by

    A)  RNA polymerase- I        

    B)  RNA polymerase- II

    C)  RNA polymerase-III

    D)  All of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     RNA polymerase-II (RNAP-II or POL-II) is an enzyme found in eukaryotic cells. It catalyses the transcription of DNA to synthesise precursors of mRNA and most hn RNA and micro RNA. A 550 kDa complex of 12 subunits, RNAP-II is the most studied type of RNA polymerase. A wide range of transcription factors are required for it to bind to its promoters and begin transcription.
