While documenting the synthesis and function of a eukaryotic gene, you prepare two solutions in which you are able to observe the gene being transcribed. Before the process is complete, you add a significant quantity of ?-amanitin to one solution, and compare the results after a few minutes. You find that the DNA in both solutions has been completely transcribed. What conclusion do you draw?
a. The gene is transcribed by RNA polymerase III.
b. The gene is transcribed by RNA polymerase II.
c. The gene is transcribed by RNA polymerase I.
d. ?-amanitin has no effect on DNA transcription.
c. The gene is transcribed by RNA polymerase I.
