When considering the initiation of transcription,one often finds consensus sequences located in the region of the DNA where RNA polymerases)binds.Which of the following is a common consensus sequence?
A)any trinucleotide repeats
B)satellite DNAs
C)TATAAT
D)TTTTAAAA
E)GGTTC

TATAAT is a common consensus sequence known as the TATA box, which is often found in the promoter region of eukaryotic genes and serves as a binding site for the transcription factor TBP (TATA-binding protein). The other choices (A, B, D, and E) are not consensus sequences typically associated with transcription initiation.
