Question
Consider the template DNA strand of a gene, the transcribed mRNA, and the resulting protein. If we examine the region of the gene which is located nearest to the promoter, what will that be? (Explain answer choice)A. 5'end of template DNA, 3'end of mRNA, amino end of protein
B. 3'end of template DNA, 3'end of mRNA, carboxyl end of protein
C. 5'end of template DNA, 5'end of mRNA, amino end of protein
D. 3'end of template DNA, 5'end of mRNA, amino end of protein
E. 3'end of template DNA, 3'end of mRNA, amino end of protein
thank you!

Hi, M-O! The "promoter" is the region of DNA that facilitates the transcription of a particular gene. Promoters are located near the genes they regulate, on the same strand and typically upstream - towards the 5' region of the sense strand, eliminating B, D, and E.
Since the 5' binds with the 3' end of the RNA from which it is transcribed, the asnwer is A.
