The Specific Sequence of Nucleotides in the DNA to Which

Question

The specific sequence of nucleotides in the DNA to which the RNA polymerase binds is the
A)regulatory region.
B)promoter region.
C)sigma region.
D)core region.

Accepted Answer

The promoter region is the specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA to which RNA polymerase binds and initiates transcription. It is part of the regulatory region, which also includes enhancers and silencers. The sigma region is a component of bacterial RNA polymerase, and the core region refers to the conserved regions of the polymerase enzyme itself. Therefore, only choice B is the correct answer.
