Which outcome results following RNA polymerase stalling during transcription?

A)Transcriptional pausing triggers backtracking catalysis
B)Frameshift mutations become increasingly prominent
C)Protein degradation becomes kinetically favored
D)Ribosomal subunit assembly undergoes catastrophic failure

💡 Explanation

The pausing of RNA polymerase can cause it become unstable, therefore backtracking occurs because it allows the enzyme to correct errors by cleaving the nascent transcript; rather than causing mutations prematurely the pause corrects errors via kinetic proofreading.
