Study Notes
Eukaryotic Transcription
- The three sequential stages of eukaryotic transcription are initiation, elongation, and termination.
- Eukaryotic transcription occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
RNA Polymerase
- RNA polymerase is the enzyme that initiates the transcription of all different types of RNA in prokaryotic cells.
- RNA polymerase II is the type of RNA polymerase that transcribes protein-coding genes into messenger RNAs (mRNAs).
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
- Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) serves as the structural components of the ribosome.
- RNA polymerase I transcribes rRNA.
