Thanks for the question
Prokaryotic transcription occurs in the cell cytoplasm and, in prokaryotes, both transcription and
translation happen simultaneously. Eukaryotic transcription occurs in the cell nucleus and, in
eukaryotes, transcription and translation differ in space and time. RNA polymerases are an
essential requirement for transcription.
Eukaryotic cells are more complex than bacteria in many ways, including in terms of
transcription. Specifically, in eukaryotes, transcription is achieved by three different types of
RNA polymerase (RNA pol I-III).
These polymerases differ in the number and type of subunits they contain, as well as the class of
RNAs they transcribe
RNA pol I transcribes ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs),
RNA pol II transcribes RNAs that will become messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and also small
regulatory RNAs
RNA pol III transcribes small RNAs such as transfer RNAs (tRNAs).
Replication of DNA in bacteria requires
DNA Polymerase I
DNA Polymerase II
