Solution

The function of the terminator sequence is D. Signals the RNA polymerase to stop transcription.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Transcription is the process where the DNA sequence is copied by an enzyme called RNA polymerase to produce a complementary RNA strand.

  2. The RNA polymerase binds to a specific region on the DNA called the promoter region to start transcription.

  3. As the RNA polymerase moves along the DNA, it unwinds the DNA helix and adds RNA nucleotides that are complementary to the DNA strand.

  4. The terminator sequence is a
