Expert Solution

Cis-elements are regions of non-coding DNA, which are in the vicinity of the structural portion of a gene and regulate the transcription of nearby genes.

Trans-elements are genes which regulates the expression of distant genes.

A regulatory gene that codes for a transcription factor is trans-acting factor.

A promoter is cis-acting

An operator is cis-acting

An enhancer is cis-acting
