Which is the "Only enzyme" that has "Capability" to catalyse Initiation, Elongation and Termination in the process of transcription in prokaryotes?

A

DNA dependent DNA polymerase

B

DNA dependent RNA polymerase

C

DNA Ligase

D

DNase

Step-by-Step Solution

In prokaryotes, the DNA dependent RNA polymerase is a holoenzyme that is made of polypeptides (α2ββω\alpha_2\beta\beta'\omega) σ\sigma. It is responsible for initiation, elongation and termination during transcription. DNase degrades DNA. DNA dependent DNA polymerase is involved in replication of DNA. DNA ligase joins the discontinuously synthesised fragments of DNA.
