Transcription in eukaryotes requires which of the following molecules in addition to RNA polymerase?
A
Ribosomes
B
tRNA
C
DNA ligase
D
Transcription factors
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of transcription in eukaryotes: Transcription is the process by which the genetic information in DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA) for protein production.
Identify the role of RNA polymerase: RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA from the DNA template during transcription.
Recognize the additional molecules required for transcription: In eukaryotes, transcription factors are essential proteins that help RNA polymerase bind to the DNA and initiate transcription.
Differentiate between transcription factors and other molecules: Ribosomes are involved in translation, tRNA is involved in translation, and DNA ligase is involved in DNA replication and repair, not transcription.
Conclude that transcription factors are necessary for the initiation and regulation of transcription in eukaryotes, in addition to RNA polymerase.
