What is the Name of the Transcription Start Site

Question

What is the name of the transcription start site?
A) promoter
B) terminator
C) regulation sequences
D) transcription factors

Accepted Answer

The promoter is the specific region of DNA where RNA polymerase binds and starts transcription. It contains the transcription start site, which marks the beginning of the transcribed region of the gene. The other choices are not directly related to the transcription start site. The terminator is the region where transcription ends, regulation sequences control gene expression, and transcription factors are proteins that bind to regulatory sequences and help initiate transcription.
