Given below are two statements
I: The process of transcription in eukaryotes with additional complexities -There are at least three RNA polymerases in the nucleus with clear cut division of labor. The RNA polymerase I transcribes rRNAs whereas the RNA polymerase III is responsible for transcription of tRNA, 5S rRNA and snRNAs. The RNA polymerase II transcribes precursor of mRNA and hnRNA.
II: The primary transcripts contain both the exons and introns are non-functional. It is subjected to a process of splicing whereas the introns are removed and exons are joined in a defined order. hnRNA undergoes additional processing called as capping and tailing.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
1. Both statement I and statement II are true
2. Both statement I and statement II are false
3. Statement I is true but statement II is false
4. Statement I is false but statement II is true
