Which outcome occurs when a polymerase encounters significant DNA hairpin formation?

💡 Explanation

Polymerase pauses occur, because steric hindrance from the three-dimensional shape created by the hairpin obstructs the active site, disrupting base pairing function and elongation kinetics. Pausing occurs rather than continuing at increased processesivity, therefore transcription terminates prior to the hairpin region.
