D) Regulator elements
E) Initiator elements

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enhancer elements are cis-acting DNA sequences that often function at a distance from the gene they are regulating. Promoter elements are located near the gene's start site and are involved in initiating transcription. Terminator elements are located near the end of the gene and are involved in stopping transcription. Regulator elements and Initiator elements are not commonly recognized as distinct types of cis-acting DNA sequences.
