RNA polymerase binds to the ________ to begin the process of transcription.
A) promoter
B) structural gene
C) codon
D) anticodon

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene to initiate transcription. The promoter region is a specific sequence of DNA that signals the start of a gene and helps RNA polymerase recognize where to begin transcription. Structural genes contain the actual genetic information and are transcribed into RNA during the process of transcription. Codons and anticodons are sequences of nucleotides found in RNA and are involved in translation, the process of converting RNA into protein.
