Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The region of DNA to which RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription is called the promoter. The operator is a DNA sequence near the promoter that controls the access of RNA polymerase to the promoter. An operon is a group of genes that are transcribed together into a single mRNA. Exons are the coding regions of genes, whereas introns are the noncoding regions that intervene between exons.
