information.
B. RNA has a negatively charged sugar phosphate backbone.
C. The structure of RNA does not allow for double-stranded base pairing.
D. There is no current mechanism to package enough RNA to encode all the

E. None of the other answer options is correct. - ANSWER d
What would happen if an enhancer sequence were mutated so that its binding
partner was always bound and recruiting the RNA polymerase complex?
A. No transcription would occur as the site is now blocked to other proteins.
B. Transcription wouldn't change.
C. No transcription would occur because the mediator complex could not form.
D. Transcription would occur continuously. - ANSWER d
