Q.

Which factor is important for termination of transcription?

  1. A

  2. B

    (alpha)

  3. C

    (sigma)

  4. D

    (rho)

Solution

In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase by itself can only carry out elongation. It associates transiently with two accessory factors:

  • Initiation factor: (sigma)
  • Termination factor: (rho)

Termination of transcription is governed by the (rho) factor.
