What is the role of RNA polymerase III in the process of transcription in Eukaryotes?
Explanation
RNA polymerase III transcribes tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNAs.
Detailed Solution
In eukaryotes, the RNA polymerase I transcribes rRNAs (28S, 18S and 5.8S), whereas the RNA polymerase III is responsible for transcription of tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNAs (small nuclear RNAs). The RNA polymerase II transcribes precursor of mRNA, the heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA).
