A scientist modified the structure of a promoter region of a gene. What could be its effect on transcription and translation?

A. RNA polymerase no longer binds to the DNA, so DNA will be directly translated into protein.

B. RNA polymerase will now bind to the coding region of the gene and carry out transcription.

C. RNA polymerase may not be able to bind to the DNA, so transcription will not occur

Respuesta :

A scientist modified the structure of a promoter region of a gene. its effect on transcription and translation is that the RNA polymerase cannot bind on the promoter region, therefore no transcription will take place. As a result there will be no protein translation.


Answer: C) RNA polymerase may not be able to bind to the DNA, so transcription will not occur.


I hope it helps, Regards.
