Question

Which of the following statements about transcription in E. coli is CORRECT?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

The -10 sequence is always exactly 10 bp upstream from the transcription start site The initiating nucleotide is always a G The intervening sequence between -35 and -10 sequences is highly conserved The distance between the -35 and -10 sequences is critical for transcription efficiency Correct

Explanation

The principle of quantitative reasoning explains that ratio, percentage and series logic determine correct calculation. Hence The distance between the -35 and -10 sequences is critical for transcription ... fits best because it meets mathematical and logical criteria, as documented in authoritative sources on aptitude and reasoning.
