Which of the following statements best describes a promoter? (multiple choice)
1.A set of adjacent structural genes and the operator gene that controls them.
2.A portion of a gene, which is transcribed into RNA, but not translated into protein.
3.A sequence of nucleotides coding for a single gene product that is transcribed into mRNA.
4.The section of DNA to which RNAP first attaches itself to when initiating the transcription of a structural gene.
5.A protein that blocks gene action with an operator site on the DNA.
PROMOTER:- It is the upstream sequence of DNA near the transcription start site which allow the binding of RNA polymerase for transcription of a structural gene.
