Question
Explain the process of transcription in prokaryotes.
✓
Answer
Process of transcription in Prokaryotes are as follows
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that catalyses the process of transcription, three steps: initiation, elongation, and termination, Initiation: RNA polymerase binds to promoter, associated with initiation-factor (8) at 5' end of DNA,
Elongation: nucleoside phosphates serve as substrate following the rule of complementarity, RNA polymerase help in opening the helix and continuous elongation,
Termination: Terminator factor $(\rho)$, nascent RNA falls off along with RNA polymerase

Restriction enzymes are found in bacteria (and other prokaryotes). They recognize and bind to specific sequences of DNA, called restriction sites. Each restriction enzyme recognizes just one or a few restriction sites.
When it finds its target sequence, a restriction enzyme will make a double-stranded cut in the DNA molecule.
i. Write the palindromic nucleotide sequence for the following DNA segment.
5'-GAATTC-3'
ii. Name the restriction endonuclease that recognises this sequence.
iii. How are sticky ends produced? Mention their role.
