To initiate the transcription of a gene, RNA polymerase binds to a _____, which is usually found near the beginning of the gene.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region, which is usually located near the beginning of a gene. The promoter contains specific nucleotide sequences that signal the start of transcription. The terminator is a sequence that signals the end of transcription, while start and stop codons are involved in translation of the mRNA into protein. The anticodon is a sequence found on tRNA molecules and is involved in decoding the genetic information in mRNA during translation.
