Intrinsic termination (i.e., rho-independent termination) involves what mechanism? Group of answer choices A helicase to separate the RNA-DNA hybrid The formation of a stem-loop structure to disrupt the RNA-DNA hybrid A proteinase to degrade the RNA polymerase during transcription A termination factor that recognizes the stop codons

What best describes a rho (ρ)-independent termination of transcription? a DNA sequence is recognized by the termination factor rho (ρ) an RNA secondary structure is recognized by the termination factor rho (ρ) a DNA sequence is recognized by RNA polymerase an RNA hairpin structure is formed, triggering the release of RNA polymerase

What do both the rho-dependent and rho-independent mechanisms of termination have in common? Answer choices 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
