What is the region of DNA within a gene not translated into protein?

There are several regions in a gene that are not translated. Promotor and enhancer regions as well as start sites such as the TATA box are not transcribed. Introns and Exons are both transcribed but introns are spliced out leaving only exons to be translated into proteins.

Non Code-Containing segments are called Introns: compare to Dna segments whose Code is Expressed - Exons.

A region of the dna molecule that stores instructions for a protein is called a?
a region of the DNA molecule that stores instructions for a protein is called a
Which of the following statements best describes the promoter of a protein coding gene?
The promoter is a nontranscribed region of a gene.
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.
Is a gene a distinct region of a long protein molecule?
No. It is a distinct region of a DNA molecule.
Section of DNA within a gene that do not encode part of the protein that the gene produces are called?
Introns (the stuff between the exons), and UTR (Untranslated region, the stuff before the start codon, and after the stop codon).

How is it possible for a point mutation to have no effect on the function of gene?
If the point mutation does not change the protein to be translated in the 3-letter sequence, then it will have no effect on the gene's function.
Is a gene a distinct region of a long protein molecule?
No. It is a distinct region of a DNA molecule.
Which of the statements best describes the promoter of a protein-coding gene?
The promoter is a nontranscribed region of a gene.
What protein is produced when gene is activated through transcription and translation?
The protein coded for in the DNA transcribed ad then translated.

Introns (the stuff between the exons), and UTR (Untranslated region, the stuff before the start codon, and after the stop codon).
What are the introns and exons?
An intron is a DNA region within a gene that is not translated into protein. After intron splicing (ie. removal), the mRNA consists only of exon derived sequences, which are translated into a protein.
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.
Manipulating the arrangement of DNA that makes up a gene is called?
Genetic engineering
What is the coding region in DNA transcription?
The coding region of a gene is that portion of a gene's DNA or RNA, composed of exons, that codes for protein. The coding region of an organism is the sum total of the organism's genome.
