Which of the following statements best describes the promoter of a protein-coding gene? The promoter is a site at which only RNA polymerase will bind. O The promoter is a site found on RNA polymerase. The promoter is part of the RNA molecule itself. The promoter is a nontranscribed region of a gene

Answer :

Statement correct describes the promoter of a protein-coding gene: The promoter is the non-transcribed region of the gene.

The promoter is the part or segment of DNA immediately before the gene is transcribed. That is, in simple terms the promoter is a region that marks the start of a gene. The promoter region can be short (consisting of only a few nucleotides) or quite long (consisting of hundreds of nucleotides).

The function of the promoter determines where transcription begins, as well as determining which of the two DNA double strands is used as a template. The promoter shows directional transcription, from the upstream of the gene to the downstream. Thus, the gene transcription process will not be reversed and will not cause errors.
