The DNA binding sequence for RNA polymerase is called TATA box.

1. TATA box is a protein sequence.
2. TATA box is a DNA sequence.
3. TATA box is an RNA sequence.
4. TATA box is a lipid sequence.

Correct answer: TATA box is a DNA sequence.

Solution

The TATA box is a conserved promoter element found in DNA, where transcription factors and RNA polymerase are recruited. It is not a protein, RNA, or lipid sequence; it is a specific DNA sequence upstream of many genes.
