    RNA polymerase contains multiple polypeptide units. For initiating RNA synthesis it requires

    A)                  \[\sigma \]-subunit                       

    B)                 \[\beta \]-subunit

    C)                  \[\text{ }\!\!\rho\!\!\text{ -}\]factor                                    

    D)                  spliceosome

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    RNA polymerase consists of a core enzyme, with subunits \[(\alpha ,\alpha ,\beta ,\beta ,\omega )\]and a sigma \[(\sigma )\]factor. The sigma factor initiates transcription of mRNA on the DNA template and directs the binding of the enzyme to the promoter region. The core enzyme continues transcription.
