Which of the following statements describes the function of the sigma factor in prokaryotic transcription? It catalyzes the removal of the introns to produce mature mRNA to terminate transcription. It causes the RNA polymerase to detach from the mRNA to terminate transcription. It catalyzes the synthesis of mRNA in a 5' to 3' direction to implement transcription elongation. It attaches the amino acid to its cognate tRNA to initiate translation. It facilitates the binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter to initiate transcription.
