Question

right as it transcribes this gene.
if you were to label the promoter of this gene, where would the label go?
○ to the right of where rna polymerase currently is
○ to the left of where rna polymerase currently is
rna polymerase is an enzyme specialized to catalyze formation of phosphodiester bonds that create a new rna
did you fully understand the concept covered in this

Explanation:

The promoter is a DNA sequence that RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription. Transcription occurs in the 5' to 3' direction. Looking at the direction of transcription (indicated by the arrow), the promoter is located upstream (before) the region being transcribed. Since the RNA polymerase is moving in the direction of transcription (to the right as per the arrow in the diagram), the promoter would be to the left of where the RNA polymerase currently is.

Answer:

to the left of where RNA polymerase currently is
