Answer:

The TATA box helps bind the RNA polymerase in the correct place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The TATA box can be found before a gene. It is type of promoter sequence which allows for the process of transcription to begin.

The transcription factor proteins recognize the TATA sequence and bind to it. The RNA polymerase is positioned by the transcription factor proteins. The transcription factors form a binding site for the RNA polymerase which binds to the specific site and starts with the transcription process.
