Explain the significance of the promoter region in transcription.

The promoter region signals where transcription should start and allows RNA polymerase to bind to the DNA.

What happens during the termination stage of transcription?

RNA polymerase reaches the terminator sequence, the RNA strand separates from the DNA, and transcription stops.
