Which of the Following Offers the Best Description of a Pribnow

Question

Which of the following offers the best description of a Pribnow box?
A) A promoter consensus sequence located at approximately −35.
B) A promoter consensus sequence located at approximately −10.
C) A sequence forming a hairpin loop signaling the termination of transcription.
D) A sequence immediately surrounding the start site of transcription.

Accepted Answer

A Pribnow box is a promoter consensus sequence located at approximately −10 in the DNA sequence, also known as the TATA box. It is recognized by RNA polymerase and helps to initiate transcription.
