Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The immediately upstream region of the functional product is called the leader region. It is transcribed but not translated, and often contains important regulatory sequences such as ribosome-binding sites, splicing sites, and start codons. The promoter is a region that initiates transcription, the coding region encodes the functional product, and the trailer region follows the coding region.
