The End of the New MRNA Molecule in E

Question

The end of the new mRNA molecule in E. coli. usually terminates in a string of A's

Accepted Answer

In E. coli, the mRNA molecule typically does not end with a string of A's; this feature is more characteristic of eukaryotic mRNA, which often has a poly(A) tail. E. coli mRNA usually ends with specific sequences that signal termination of transcription, not a poly(A) tail.
