DEFINE: gene enhancer and gene promoter (3-4 sentences each).
Solution
Answer :
Enhancers : An enhancer is a segment of DNA that lies either upstream, within, or downstream
of a structural gene that serves to increase transcription initiation from that gene. enhancers are
found thousands of basepairs away from the genes. They interacts with the activators and
coactivators which in turn recruits RNA polymerase to the site of transcription.
Promoters are the specific sites on the DNA in which RNA polymerase enzyme binds and
intiates the trancription/RNA synthesis process..
