Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transcriptional promoter is required for the initiation of RNA synthesis.  The promoter region is a specific sequence of DNA upstream of the transcription start site of a gene. Promoters stimulate the initiation of transcription. Promoters are located near the genes they transcribe, on the same strand and upstream on the DNA.
