Compare and contrast transcription termination in bacteria and eukaryotes. a) What sites signal the transcription complex to terminate in prokaryotes and to terminate/polyadenylate in eukaryotes

Prokaryotes have RHO dependent and RHO independent transcription termination; Eukaryotes have the poly A signal and downstream termination sequence transcription termination.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process by which mRNA is synthesized from DNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is keep going until some termination signal/mechanism stops it. There are various differences of transcription in prokaryotes and eukaryotes like types of RNA polymerases, nitrogenous bases utilized and the mechanism of transcription termination.

Prokaryotic termination may be dependent on RHO proteins or not.

Eukaryotic termination may occur through poly A signal and downstream termination sequence;

for example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales .
