A terminator in mRNA synthesis is a(n) __________.
A
enzyme that adds nucleotides to the growing mRNA strand
B
region where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription
C
DNA sequence that signals the end of transcription
D
protein that unwinds the DNA double helix
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of transcription, where mRNA is synthesized from a DNA template.
Recall that transcription involves initiation, elongation, and termination phases.
Identify that a terminator is related to the termination phase, signaling the end of transcription.
Recognize that a terminator is a specific DNA sequence that causes RNA polymerase to stop transcription.
Conclude that the terminator is not an enzyme, protein, or binding region, but a DNA sequence signaling transcription termination.
