During transcription, the DNA site at which RNA polymerase binds is called

1. enhancer
2. promoter
3. regulator
4. receptor

Correct answer: promoter

Solution

A promoter is the specific DNA region where RNA polymerase binds to begin transcription. Enhancers can increase transcription, but they are not the primary binding site for RNA polymerase.
