B)immediately downstream of the promoter.

D)primarily downstream of the promoter;distance from the promoter does not matter.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enhancer regions can be located both upstream and downstream of the gene, but they are most commonly found upstream of the promoter. The distance from the promoter may also vary, but the enhancer regions are usually found within a few thousand base pairs of the promoter. Therefore, looking primarily upstream of the promoter, regardless of distance, is the best choice for identifying enhancer regions.
