the proteins that bind DNA at eukaryotic promoters to form the initiation complex are called A. enhancers B. mediator proteins C. transcriptions factors D. chromatin E. ribosomes
Correct answer is option C. transcription factors
The first step in the transcription is binding of proteins called transcription factors to DNA at eukaryotic promoters to form initiation complex.
Enhancers are the regulatory proteins that bind DNA at a site away from promoters and they act as activators.
Mediators are the multiprotein complex that acts as coactivators in transcription.
Chromatin are the macromolecules that are responsible for functions like packaging of DNA, prevent DNA damage, control gene expression and DNA replication.
Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis (translation).
