What is the name of the segment of DNA that RNA polymerase attaches to in order to initiate transcription?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Transcription is initiated when RNA polymerase attaches to DNA at the promoter site. This allows the RNA polymerase to be appropriately positioned so that the whole gene is transcribed.

The origin of replication is the site that allows the initiation of DNA replication. Operators are segments of DNA that can bind transcription factors and regulate certain genes.
