Biology Question on Molecular Basis of Inheritance
During transcription, the DNA site at which RNA polymerase binds is called:
A
Promoter
B
Regulator
C
Receptor
D
Enhancer
Answer
Promoter
Explanation
Solution
Promoters are regulatory regions of DNA located upstream (toward the 5' end) of the gene they control, and they play a crucial role in gene expression by facilitating the binding of RNA polymerase and other transcription factors.
So, the correct option is (A): Promoter
