Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TFIID is a transcription factor that recognizes the TATA box, a DNA sequence commonly found in the promoter region of eukaryotic genes. TFIID binds to the TATA box and recruits other transcription factors and RNA polymerase II to the promoter to initiate transcription. Choices B, C, and D are not functions of TFIID.
