What do both the rho-dependent and rho-independent mechanisms of termination have in common?
A) terminate transcription immediately after the stop codon
B) a sequence rich with A-U base pairs
C) Both require a helicase to separate the DNA-RNA complex.
D) formation of a stem-loop structure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both the rho-dependent and rho-independent mechanisms of termination involve the formation of a stem-loop structure, which destabilizes the RNA-DNA complex and leads to termination of transcription.
