QUESTION 18Which of the following statements about termination mechanisms for nucleic acid polymerization is FALSE?O A. Rho independent termination in bacteria involves formation of a stem loop followed by series of Uresidues.O B. ter dependent termination by tus proteins causes genomic DNA replication to conclude at some point onthe circular bacterial genome opposite (i.e. halfway around) relative to the location of the origin.OC. Termination by the rho protein involves C rich regions of the transcript to which rho attaches and thenmoves to displace the polymerase.D. Rho dependent or rho independent transcription termination sites are located between each of thecoding regions present in polycistronic bacterial RNAS.O E. Transcription termination is especially important for bacterial genomes because the genes are closelyspaced and we do not want transcripts from one gene to read through to the adjacent downstreamgene.

Transcription termination is the process where a nascent RNA is released from its complex with RNA polymerase and the DNA template. In this question, it is required to choose the incorrect statement with respect to transcription termination.The false statement is E. Explanation: Bacterial genome has operons. The operons regulate transcription. Thus, when one gene is transcribing, it cannot read through the adjacent gene because of the presence of the operon. Hence, statement E is false.
