Molecular-Basis-Of-Inheritance Question 228

Question: The given figure represent one of the step in the process of transcription in bacteria. Identify the step and label A, B & C marked in the figure.

Options:

A) Initiation; A - DNA, B - RNA, C - Promoter

B) Termination; A - RNA, B - RNA polymerase, C - Rho factor

C) Elongation; A - RNA, B - RNA polymerase, C - Sigma factor

D) Elongation; A-DNA, B - DNA polymerase, C - RNA

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] In the given figure, the step shown is termination of transcription in bacteria.

The label A, B and C are respectively KNA, RNA polymerase and rho factor.

RNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes the formation of RNA from a DNA.

Template during transcription.

Rho factor is a termination factor which releases RNA from the DNA template.
