a. cis-acting, variable orientation, variable position

b. trans-acting, fixed position, fixed orientation

c. cis-acting, fixed position, fixed orientation

d. cis-acting, variable position, fixed orientation

e. trans- and cis-acting, variable position

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer- a. cis-acting, variable orientation, variable position

Explanation- enhancers are segments of DNA to which activators can bind. They enhance the possibility of ocurrence of transcription. Enhancers can be located on either side of the start codon, in the forward or backward direction. They are cis-acting.Cis-acting are non coding regions of DNA that regulate transcription of genes.
