No, a gene includes regulatory regions, sometimes introns, as well as protein encoding regions, but only the sequence of DNA that codes for amino acids is translated.

Is the promoter transcribed in the process of gene expression?

Yes, the promoter is transcribed in the process of gene expression.


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

A single gene can be transcribed multiple times by mRNA to produce multiple copies of the corresponding protein. The number of times a gene is transcribed depends on the cell's need for the specific protein encoded by that gene.


Which nucleic acid can be a gene?

A gene is a segment only on DNA. A gene transcribed to mRNA is usually no longer referred to as a gene.


What is DNA unit called that is usually transcribed?

A gene


What are genes a part of?

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.


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

The promoter of a protein-coding gene is a region of DNA located at the beginning of the gene that initiates transcription by providing a binding site for RNA polymerase. It plays a critical role in controlling gene expression by regulating when and how much of the gene is transcribed into mRNA.


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 is the name of the DNA molecule that is transcribed?

DNA transcription is a process that involves the transcribing of genetic information from DNA to RNA.


Does a typical gene consists of regulatory sites in a promoter and the nucleotide sequence that is transcribed?

Yes, a typical gene consists of regulatory sites in a promoter region that determine when and how much the gene is transcribed. The nucleotide sequence that is transcribed is called the coding sequence, which contains the instructions for making a specific protein or RNA molecule. All these elements work together to regulate gene expression.


Are introns transcribed during the process of gene expression?

Yes, introns are transcribed along with exons during the process of gene expression, but they are later removed from the mRNA through a process called splicing before the final mRNA is 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.


What do you call the section of dna that is transcribed?

The section of DNA that is transcribed is called a gene. Genes contain the instructions for making specific proteins or functional RNA molecules. During transcription, an RNA molecule is synthesized from the gene for further processing and translation.
