Eukaryotic core promoter elements have all of the following...

Eukaryotic core promoter elements have all of the following characteristics, except: a They serve as the recruitment site for RNA polymerase II. b They serve as the recognition site for general transcription factors. c They all contain a TATA box. d They become nonfunctional when moved even a short distance from the start of transcription.

0:00 Hello.

00:01 So let's answer now the question.

00:02 So here in the question, it is about the eukaryotic core promoter elements.

00:08 And we are asked which of the following option is not true, okay, not true about the eukaryotic promoter elements.

00:22 So for option a, it says that they serve as the recruitment site for the rna.

00:31 Polymerase 2.

00:33 So this statement is correct.

00:36 So the promoter core region will recruit the rna polymerase 2 enzyme so that it can start doing the transcription process.

00:47 So the promoter is the site at which the general transcription factor binds and recruit the rna polymer.

00:54 So this statement is next we have here statement b.

00:58 It says that they serve as the recognition.

01:02 Site for the general transcription factors.

01:06 As what i've mentioned, the promoter site is the general transcription factor.

01:12 It is the site at which the general transcription factor binds.

01:20 So this statement is true also.

01:24 So again, the promoter site, first, this is the site that the rna polymerase 2 is recruited.

01:33 And second, this is the site at which the general transcription factor binds so that, again, the rna polymerase 2 will be recruited.

01:45 And then we have here option c and d.

01:53 Our answer here, the false statement here is we have option c...
