For protein-encoding genes,six general transcription factors (GTFs)function to:
A)identify a gene's promoter,facilitating RNA polymerase II binding.
B)terminate transcription at the end of an open reading frame.
C)assemble the RNA polymerase subunits.
D)arrest DNA replication.
E)recruit the ribosome to newly synthesized RNAs.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The six general transcription factors (GTFs) in protein-encoding genes work to identify a gene's promoter, which facilitates RNA polymerase II binding. This binding is necessary for transcription initiation, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, D, and E are incorrect as they do not describe the main function of GTFs in transcription.
