Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

The core' enzyme which catalyses covalent chain extension, consists of two $\alpha$ polypeptides (each of molecular weight about 41,000), one $\beta$ polypeptide (molecular weight about 155,000) one$\beta$- polypeptide (molecular weight about 165,000) and one $\omega$-co-polypeptide (molecular weight about 12,000). The holoenzyme contains in addition, $\alpha$-polypeptide (molecular weight about 95,000). The presence of the sigma factor is required for initiation at the proper transcription initiation (or promoter) sites. After each RNA chain - initiation event, sigma is released and the core enzyme catalyses chain elongation.
