For each of the following, indicate if it is cis-acting or trans-acting
A regulatory gene that codes for a transcription factor _______________
A promoter _______________
An operator _________________
An enhancer _________________
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
