In the process of transcription, promoters are specific sequences of ________ that are recognized by ________.
A) DNA / DNA polymerase
B) RNA / DNA polymerase
C) DNA / sigma factors
D) RNA / ribosomes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Promoters are specific sequences of DNA that are recognized by sigma factors, which are subunits of RNA polymerase responsible for initiating transcription. RNA polymerase uses the information encoded in DNA to synthesize RNA during transcription. DNA polymerase is responsible for the replication of DNA during DNA synthesis, while ribosomes are responsible for the translation of RNA into proteins during protein synthesis. Thus, choices A, B, and D are incorrect.
