Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

The sarcomere is the smallest contractile unit of muscle. It extends from one Z disc to the next and therefore, is the region between two consecutive Z discs. It contains an A band flanked by half an I band at each end. Contraction of a muscle fiber occurs as the sarcomeres within the myofibrils shorten. During the shortening of the sarcomere, the thin actin filaments slide past the thick myosin filaments and approach one another. The resultant shortening of the I band and complete disappearance of H zone cause contraction of muscle fiber.

You wish to create a mutation in which you prevent access of rna polymerase to the gene. Which region of a gene would you target

Promoter sequences/region is where the transcription factors and RNA polymerase must attach before the gene can be transcribed. SO if we mutate this sequence, the transcription factors and RNA polymerase won't recognize it thus would not attach and transcribe the targeted gene.
