Explanation / Answer

The consensus sequence TATAAT label at -10 elements.

The consensus sequence TTGACA label at -35 element

UAA, UGA, or UAG stop codon

AUG initiation codon

A ribosomal binding site, Shine-Dalgarno sequence is found in messenger RNA of bacterial as well as archaeal, generally situated around 8 bases upstream of the AUG start codon. The AGGAGG is a six-base consensus sequence.
