Finding an inverted repeated sequence within 100-200 bases of a promoter suggests the presence of a ________ binding site.
A) DNA
B) transcriptional regulator
C) RNA
D) ribosome
E) corepressor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inverted repeated sequences within 100-200 bases of a promoter are known to be recognition sites for transcriptional regulators. These transcriptional regulators bind to the DNA and either activate or repress transcription of the gene. Therefore, option B - transcriptional regulator - is the best choice. Options A, C, D, and E are not directly related to inverted repeated sequences or promoter regions.
