Video transcript

Hello everyone here. We have a question that asked what is the main function of enhancers During the transcription process? Enhancers provide binding sites for proteins helping the transcription activation. So A. Is correct. B splice the M. RNA to create variations. This is incorrect. C. Bring the correct amino acid that corresponds to a specific code on this is incorrect, and D ensure the correct pairing of nucleotides. This is incorrect. The main function of enhancers during the transcription process is to provide binding sites for proteins helping the transcription activation. Thank you for watching. Bye.
