1. Explain the role of the sigma factor in prokaryotic transcription.

• The sigma factor has no significance in prokaryotic transcription.

• The sigma factor is responsible for converting the codons to amino acids.

• It facilitates the binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter to initiate transcription.

• Enhancing the stability of RNA polymerase holoenzyme
