A mutation in this section of DNA could influence the binding of RNA polymerase to the DNA:
A)operon
B)inducer
C)promoter
D)repressor
E)corepressor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The promoter is the section of DNA where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription. A mutation in this region could affect the ability of RNA polymerase to bind and thereby impact transcription.

Answer: A, C, D 
 The operon includes the promoter and regulatory elements such as inducers and repressors that control gene expression. Mutations in any of these elements could influence RNA polymerase binding and affect transcription. However, the corepressor (E) is not directly involved in regulating RNA polymerase binding.
