This pattern is found in both strands of the DNA. . They were discovered by Austrian chemist Erwin Chargaff. .. The length of the transcription bubble is about 12 to 14 . bp. , but the length of the RNA–DNA hybrid within the bubble is only 8 to 9 . bp. . As the enzyme moves along the template, the DNA duplex reforms. RNA Polymerases of Eukaryotes. Since typical eukaryotic cells have 10 times as many genes as do bacteria, the whole process of transcription and its regulation is more complex. . Indeed, eukaryotes have multiple RNA polymerases, unlike bacteria which have just one. Typical .
