Question

The enzyme that performs transcription binds to a site called?

Answer 1

The answer is RNA polymerase enzyme.

—Evidence—
•] Initiation is the beginning of transcription. It occurs when the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter.

Answer 2

The promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase, the enzyme that performs transcription.

Step-by-step explanation:

The operator is a negative regulatory site bound by the lac repressor protein. The operator overlaps with the promoter, and when the lac repressor is bound, RNA polymerase cannot bind to the promoter and start transcription.
