The number of initiations of transcription from a promoter that has the sequence 5'-TAGCAT-3' will be greater than the number of initiations from a wild-type promoter.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is no evidence to suggest that the presence of the sequence 5'-TAGCAT-3' would lead to a higher number of initiations of transcription compared to a wild-type promoter. In fact, this sequence may even have a negative effect on transcription levels depending on the context in which it is located. Therefore, the statement is false.
