Q. During transcription, the DNA site at which RNA polymerase binds is called

UP CPMTUP CPMT 2009

Solution:

The DNA site at which RNA polymerase binds is called promoter. In eukaryotic genes, the promoter typically has a core promoter very near to the transcription start site, often containing the base sequence TATA proteins called transcription factors bind to the promoter and ensure that the enzyme responsible for transcription, RNA polymerase, is correctly positioned with respect to the coding region of the gene.
