Question

Enhancer regions in DNA must be within ____ bases of the start gene.

Answer

Enhancer regions in DNA must be within 1000 bases of the start gene.
Figure 16 04: Enhancer regions in DNA must be within 1000 bases of the start gene.
Note: The DNA regulatory base sequences (such as promoters, enhancers, and response elements) are known as cis regulators because they are in the same vicinity as the gene they control. Transcription factors, however, have to be produced and translocated back to the nucleus; thus they are called trans regulators because they travel through the cell to their point of action.
