Question

Regulatory and basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to the promoter.a) trueb) false

Answer 1

a) True

Step-by-step explanation:

The RNA polymerase enzyme, which makes a new RNA molecule from a DNA model, needs to attach itself to the gene's DNA. It connects to a region called promoter.

In bacteria, RNA polymerase attaches directly to the promoter's DNA.

In humans and other eukaryotes, there is one more step: RNA polymerase can bind to the promoter only with the aid of proteins called basal transcription factors. They are part of the basic cell transcription components necessary for the transcription of any gene.
