Question #3
During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the:
A. Enhancer
B. Terminator
C. Start codon
D. Promoter

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
RNA polymerase recognizes and binds to the promoter region of DNA, which is located upstream of the coding sequence. This initiates transcription. The terminator signals the end of transcription. Start codon (AUG) is on mRNA where translation begins. Enhancers are regulatory DNA sequences that increase transcription but are not the primary binding site for polymerase.
