Match List-I with List-II regarding prokaryotic transcription. List-I List-II (A) RNA polymerase core enzyme (I) Initiation of transcription (B) Sigma ( ) factor (II) Elongation of transcription (C) Rho ( ) factor (III) Termination of transcription Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III)
- B(A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I)
- C(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II)
- D(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III)
Correct answer
D. (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III)
Step-by-step solution
According to NCERT, in prokaryotes, the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase is only capable of catalyzing the process of elongation. It associates transiently with the initiation factor ( ) to initiate transcription and with the termination factor ( ) to terminate transcription. Therefore, the correct match is (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III). Answer: (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III)
