A) accurate transcription involves a protein called sigma which permits RNA polymerase to bind and initiate transcription at specific sites on the DNA molecule.
B) the entire DNA molecule is transcribed once transcription begins.
C) an mRNA produced as a result of transcription may code for more than one polypeptide chain in prokaryotes.
