- In Rho-dependent termination, an omega factor is responsible for displacing the core enzyme from the DNA template.

Explanation:

Rho factor is the factor responsible for the termination at places in the genome where the use of an intrinsic terminator is not possible. Omega factor is not responsible for displacing the core enzyme from the DNA template.
