Key Features of Eukaryotic Transcription

Easy Biology Molecular Biology

The process of transcription is essential for gene expression in cells. During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template. This process occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and involves several key steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. After transcription, the newly formed RNA undergoes several modifications, including 5’ capping, polyadenylation, and splicing.

Which of the following statements accurately describes a key feature of eukaryotic transcription?

It occurs in the cytoplasm immediately after translation.

It involves the use of DNA-dependent RNA polymerases.

It does not require any transcription factors.

It produces RNA directly without any processing steps.
