Q: In plants, what is the function of the gene promoter?
Solution:
The gene promoter is a region of DNA that initiates transcription of a particular gene.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that genes are segments of DNA that provide instructions for making proteins.
Step 2: Learn that a promoter is a specific region of DNA located at the beginning of a gene.
Step 3: Know that the promoter acts like a 'start signal' for the gene.
Step 4: Realize that when the promoter is activated, it helps to begin the process called transcription.
Step 5: Understand that transcription is when the DNA is copied into RNA, which is then used to make proteins.
