12. (a) Write the function of RNA-polymerase II in eukaryotic cells.
      (b) You can deduce only one possible sequence of amino acids, when given a sequence of nucleotides (codons); but multiple nucleotide sequences can be deduced for the same sequence of amino acids. Explain how it is possible and give the name for the mechanism.

Dear Student,

(a) RNA -2 Polymerase helps in transcription of DNA to precursors of mRNA.

(b) Your question is not clear. If you are confused with the concept of Codon Degeneracy, in which multiple codons code for the same amino acid. For example: CCC and CCA both code for Proline.

Hope this will help you out.
Regards,
