Question

Select the incorrect statement.

a. RNA synthesis proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction.
b. Rho-independent termination involves a GC rich region followed by a short uracil sequence to release the newly transcripted RNA.
c. In Rho-dependent termination, an omega factor is responsible for displacing the core enzyme from the DNA template.
d. There are two main mechanisms of termination in bacteria.

Answer 1

- In Rho-dependent termination, an omega factor is responsible for displacing the core enzyme from the DNA template.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rho factor is the factor responsible for the termination at places in the genome where the use of an intrinsic terminator is not possible. Omega factor is not responsible for displacing the core enzyme from the DNA template.
