The figure below shows the promoter region for a prokaryotic gene, with the binding sites for RNA polymerase in blue and green.  You create a mutant in this promoter by inserting 7 nucleotides (+7-bp) just upstream of the -1 position.  In a few sentences explain what effect this 7-bp insertion in this location would have on (1) the rate of transcription rate, (2) the position of the transcription start site, and (3) the sequence of the RNA transcript.
