The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Types of RNA Polymerases:** - There are three main types of RNA polymerases in eukaryotic cells: RNA polymerase I, RNA polymerase II, and RNA polymerase III. 2. **Understand the Function of Each RNA Polymerase:** - **RNA Polymerase I**: This enzyme is responsible for transcribing ribosomal RNA (rRNA), specifically the 28S, 18S, and 5.8S rRNA. - **RNA Polymerase II**: This polymerase transcribes messenger RNA (mRNA) and its precursor, known as heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). - **RNA Polymerase III**: This enzyme transcribes transfer RNA (tRNA) and 5S ribosomal RNA. 3. **Focus on RNA Polymerase II:** - The question specifically asks about RNA polymerase II. We need to determine what it transcribes. 4. **Identify the Product of RNA Polymerase II:** - RNA polymerase II transcribes hnRNA, which is the precursor to mRNA. After processing, hnRNA is converted into mature mRNA. 5. **Conclusion:** - Among the RNA polymerases, RNA polymerase II transcribes heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), which is the precursor to mRNA. **Final Answer:** RNA polymerase II transcribes heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). ---
