What is the function of the promoter in transcription?
A.It is the DNA site where RNA polymerase binds
B.It codes for the first amino acid
C.It terminates transcription
D.It removes introns
Explanation
Core Concept
The promoter's sequence positions RNA polymerase and sets the transcription start site. Promoter strength helps determine how much a gene is expressed.
Correct Answer
AIt is the DNA site where RNA polymerase binds
