Which of the following is the binding site for RNA polymerase on the DNA molecule?
A) structural gene 1
B) repressor gene
C) promoter sequence
D) operator sequence
E) region between an operator and the first structural gene

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The promoter sequence is the specific region on the DNA molecule where RNA polymerase binds and initiates transcription of the adjacent gene. The repressor gene and operator sequence are involved in regulation of gene expression but are not the direct binding site for RNA polymerase. The structural genes and the region between an operator and the first structural gene are the actual coding sequences for proteins and do not directly interact with RNA polymerase for transcription initiation.
