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.

Describe the transcription process in terms of the three regions of the gene?

Transcription is divided into three regions: the promoter, which signals the start of transcription; the coding region, where the gene sequence is transcribed into RNA; and the terminator, which signals the end of transcription. During transcription, RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region, unwinds the DNA, reads the coding region to synthesize RNA, and stops at the terminator region to release the newly formed RNA transcript.


Where is the promoter located within a gene?

The promoter is located at the beginning of a gene, before the coding region that specifies the protein or RNA molecule. It is a region of DNA that initiates the process of gene transcription.


Transcription starts at a region of DNA called a?

According to biologists, transcription starts at a region of DNA called a promoter. Promoters bind with RNA molecules to initiate transcription.


Non coding portions of DNA that are separated from the portions of DNA actually used during transcription are called?

Introns are the non-coding portions of DNA that are separated from the portions of DNA used during transcription. After transcription, introns are removed during the process of mRNA maturation, leaving only the exons to be translated into proteins.


What is a DNA promoters?

A Promoter is a region of DNA that facilitates the transcription of a particular gene.


How many strands of DNA are used for transcription?

No, just one strand, the coding strand is used to create a mRNA molecule in the process of transcription.


How does DNA code for proteins?

The human DNA codes for proteins through transcription and replication of the genes. Only about 2 percent of the DNA is used for coding.


Where does RNA polymerase bind to the DNA to initiate transcription?

RNA polymerase binds to the DNA at a specific region called the promoter to initiate transcription.


What is made in transcription?

mRNA is made. Messenger (Ribose Nucleic-Acid). mRNA is a single strand of RNA made from the template strand of DNA. The mRNA is a exact copy of the coding or sense strand of DNA. The only difference between the produced RNA and DNA is the DNA has deoxyribose as its backbone sugar, and all Thymines have are replaced with Uracil.


What molecule copies the DNA coding strand and leaves the nucleus?

mRNA copies the information.Process is called transcription.


Where does transcription start in a prokaryotic promoter?

Transcription in a prokaryotic promoter starts at the DNA sequence called the "promoter region."
