Question

Which of the following would cause more rapid transcription?

Select one:
A. A gene with more promoters.
B. A tighter binding of the polymerase to the DNA.

Answer 1

B. A tighter binding of the polymerase to the DNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

The strength of the polymerase's binding to the DNA affects the rate at which it can move along the molecule. A tighter binding of the polymerase to the DNA allows transcription to occur more quickly, while a weaker binding may cause transcription to proceed more slowly.
