What is the Primary Function of Basal Transcription Factors

Question

What is the primary function of basal transcription factors?
A)repress transcription initiation of specific genes
B)assist RNA polymerase binding to the promoter
C)increase transcription by binding enhancer sequences
D)bind to activators or repressors and modify histone tails
E)add poly-A to the 3′ end of transcripts

Accepted Answer

Basal transcription factors are essential for the initiation of transcription by assisting RNA polymerase in binding to the promoter region of genes, thereby enabling the transcription process to begin.
