Solution

The false statement is: "Promoter is not required for the synthesis of eukaryotic mRNA".

This is false because the promoter region of a gene is crucial for the initiation of transcription in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The promoter is the DNA sequence that the transcription machinery, including RNA polymerase and other proteins, bind to in order to start transcription. Without a promoter, the transcription machinery would not know where to start transcribing, and mRNA synthesis would not occur.
