α-Amanitin is a fungal toxin which inhibits eukaryotic RNA polymerases. The three eukaryotic RNA polymerases show differ

In molecular biology, nucleic acid structure and recombination dictates that hairpin formation, Holliday junction resolution and translation control ensure fidelity. Therefore RNA POL II > RNA POL III > RNA POL I is correct as it matches molecular mechanisms of gene expression, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related

Ref: Alberts et al., Molecular Biology of the Cell, 6th Edition, Chapter 5, DNA Replication and Repair, discusses Holliday junction formation during homologous recombination and replication fork dynamics ensuring genome duplication and stability.
