Transcription in Bacteria Differs from Transcription in a Eukaryotic Cell

Transcription in bacteria differs from transcription in a eukaryotic cell because

C) the sigma subunit must associate with the appropriate type of RNA polymerase to produce mRNAs.
D) RNA polymerase must be phosphorylated at its C-terminal tail for transcription to proceed.
