Transcription in prokaryotes takes place within the cytoplasm.

The Shine-Dalgarno sequence is a specific sequence in prokaryotic mRNA that helps initiate protein synthesis by aligning the mRNA with the ribosome.

RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for creating RNA from a DNA template during transcription.

Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules carry specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

RNA polymerase works slower than DNA polymerase during replication.

The beta' subunit of prokaryotic RNA polymerase is responsible for binding to the DNA template.

The -10 region is the start point for transcription in prokaryotes.

The alpha subunit of prokaryotic RNA polymerase helps assemble the beta and beta' subunits.

The sigma factor in prokaryotic RNA polymerase helps recognize the correct promoter region where transcription should begin.

The holoenzyme, which consists of RNA polymerase and the sigma factor, binds to the promoter region with high affinity.
