List the RNA polymerases and write one sentence describing their respective functions. Draw and label diagrams which compare and contrast the structural features of mRNA molecules from prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Write a short paragraph telling what information is provided to the RNA polymerase by the structural features found at both ends of mRNA molecule. Show a diagram which illustrates the differences. Write one sentence further describing each element of your list.
