Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The promoter region is the segment at the beginning of a gene that serves as a binding site for RNA polymerase and transcription factors, and is necessary for transcription to occur. A neocodon and boosting are not known genetic terms. Introns are non-coding segments found within genes, not at the beginning. Histones are proteins that help package DNA, but are not specifically associated with the beginning of a gene.
