Thus, while eukaryotic transcription is far more complex than bacterial transcription, the main difference between the two types of transcription lies in RNA polymerase.

In primary school, children are taught that the main difference between these organisms is that eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.
