Chapter 13.4, Problem 1CC
Retrieve, Infer, Apply
The coding region of a gene is said to be “downstream” from the leader. Conversely, the leader is said to be “upstream” of the coding region. For each of the following portions of a gene, indicate whether it is downstream or upstream of the coding region: promoter, +1
