Prokaryotes have 1 RNA polymerase. How many RNA polymerases are there in eukaryotes? Correct Answer 3

Eukaryotes have three RNA polymerases specialized in different types of RNA transcription. While RNA pol I mainly deals with rRNA, RNA pol II with mRNA and RNA pol III deals with tRNA and 5S rRNA.
