A Gene That Undergoes Rho-Dependent Termination Has a Mutation in the Rut

question 31

Multiple Choice

A gene that undergoes rho-dependent termination has a mutation in the rut site. How will this influence transcriptional activity?

• A)Transcription will terminate normally as Rho termiantion relies on the rut site to enhance termination; it is not essential for termination
• B)Transcription will stop immediately because RNA polymerase will sense there is a mutation
• C)Transcription will continue until another termination sequence, either Rho dependent or independent is reached
• D)There will be no transcription initiation
