In eukaryotes, a promoter that signals the beginning of the gene and binds with the promoter typically consists of
A) rRNA and tRNA.
B) the bases TATAAA and response elements.
C) both DNA and RNA.
D) the base sequence AUG and transcription factor binding sites.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B) the bases TATAAA and response elements. The TATAAA sequence, known as the TATA box, is a common promoter sequence in eukaryotes that helps initiate transcription. Response elements are sequences in the promoter region where specific transcription factors bind to regulate the transcription of adjacent genes.
