Which of the following statements best describes the promoter of a protein coding gene?

The promoter is a nontranscribed region of a gene.


What steps happen first during during transcription?

At first during transcription, RNA polymerase binds the promoter region of a gene to be transcribed. The end product would be the synthesized mRNA.


What is produced when gene transcription occurs?

Genes are transcribed onto an mRNA molecule.


How does the repressors protein prevent transcription?

By attaching to the a region of the gene called operator thus blocking RNA polymerase so that the gene is not transcribed.


Constituents of a gene?

There are three main parts of a gene. First, the promoter includes when and where the gene should be transcribed. Then, the coding sequence contains the instructions for making a protein. Last, the terminator indicates that the coding sequence is over.


An expressed gene is one that what?

a gene being expressed means it is shown, for example if you have the gene for brown eyes and the gene for blue eyes, only one can be expressed. if you have brown eyes that gene is expressed, if not the blue-eye gene is expressed.


What protein is produced when gene is activated through transcription and translation?

The protein coded for in the DNA transcribed ad then translated.


How many times can a single gene from the DNA strand be transcribed by mRNA?

im not sure man


How does dense packing of DNA in chromosome prevent gene expression?

If the gene is obscured and hidden by folds or heavily methylated, RNA polymerase has a difficult time getting to the promoter region to initiate transcription. If the polymerase can't get there, then the gene is not transcribed and translated to a protein.
