Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Strong prokaryotic promoters generally result in a higher rate of transcription. This is because they have specific sequence motifs that are recognized by RNA polymerase and other transcription factors, leading to increased binding and initiation of transcription. The other options are incorrect as transcription factors do not bind to promoters in prokaryotes, and there is no evidence to suggest that strong promoters are associated with larger or more stable transcription factors. Strong promoters are also relatively common in prokaryotes.
