In eukaryotes, the proteins that bind with RNA polymerase during transcription are called
Correct answer: C. transcription factors
Transcription factors form a transcription initiation complex with RNA polymerase and participate in the initiation process of transcription. Promoters are specific DNA sequences recognized and bound by RNA polymerase. Enhancers are DNA sequences that increase the frequency of transcription of genes they are linked to. σ Factors are components of RNA polymerase that recognize the promoter consensus sequence.
