E
A sigma factor.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of prokaryotic transcription, which involves the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
Identify the key components involved in prokaryotic transcription: RNA polymerase, promoter, sigma factor, and Rho protein.
Recognize that RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA by reading the DNA template.
Learn that the promoter is a DNA sequence that signals the start site for transcription, where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription.
Note that transcription factors are not typically involved in prokaryotic transcription, as they are more relevant to eukaryotic transcription processes.
