Q. During expression of an operon, polymerase binds to

 2144  196 Molecular Basis of Inheritance Report Error

Solution:

Promoter gene acts as an initiation signal which functions as recognition centre for polymerase provided the operator gene is switched on. polymerase is bound to the promoter gene. When the operator gene is functional, the polymerase moves over it and reaches the structural genes to perform transcription.
