Which is the "Only enzyme" that has the "Capability" to catalyze Initiation, Elongation, and Termination in the process of transcription in prokaryotes?
DNA Ligase
DNase
DNA-dependent DNA polymerase
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase
According to the text, in bacteria (prokaryotes), there is a single DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that catalyses the transcription of all types of RNA. This enzyme is capable of catalysing all three steps of transcription: initiation (by associating transiently with the initiation-factor, ), elongation, and termination (by associating with the termination-factor, ).
