Question

Conventionally the -10 ($5'$-TATAAT) and -35 ($5'$-TTGACA) regions are denoted in

• A. On the same strand which is used a template strand of DNA
• B. On the same strand which is used a coding strand of DNA
• C. On the same strand which is used a sense strand of DNA
• D. On the same strand which is used a coding strand of DNA downstream to the +1 site

Hint:

The RNA transcript matches the sequence and direction of the coding strand (with U instead of T), which is why promoter and gene sequences are conventionally written using the coding strand sequence.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
