Which is the "Only enzyme" that has "Capability" to catalyse Initiation, Elongation and Termination in the process of transcription in prokaryotes?
- ADNase
- BDNA dependent DNA polymerase
- CDNA dependent RNA polymerase
- DDNA Ligase
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Prokaryotes utilize one RNA polymerase for transcription of all types of RNA. The enzyme RNA polymerase is needed for RNA formation from DNA, i.e. DNA dependent RNA polymerase. It occurs in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. RNA polymerase is the only enzyme which, has the capability to catalyse all initiation, elongation and termination in prokaryotes.
