Question

What must eukaryotes do to initiate transcription of a gene?

Answer 1

Answer:

c)Recruit the transcription factors and RNA Polymerase that compose the pre-initiation complex.

Explanation:

Transcription leads to formation of RNA from DNA. The process is carried out by RNA Polymerase which forms a RNA strand according to the template DNA strand.

It starts by the formation of pre-initiation complex. RNA Polymerase along with transcription factors binds to the promoter region of DNA and forms the pre-initiation complex. Generally the eukaryotic promoters have a sequence called as TATA box where the transcription factors bind first. Eventually RNA polymerase also binds to the region and the DNA strands separate starting the transcription process.
