d. the ribosome

Hello everyone. And today we have the following problem. The promoter sequence is located at the blank of the coding sequence, which is where transcription begins. And remember that this promoter or the promoter sequence is where RNA polymerase and certain transcription factors are going to bind in order to start this transcription process. And so I want you to visualize this gene that we have or this genetic code if the promoter sequence is located anywhere towards the end, middle or downstream from the gene and we still have certain nucleotides or certain code owns here in this area and transcription begins here. We're going to miss out on many of these important nucleotides upstream or at the beginning of the sequence. So this is why this promoter sequence or the beginning of transcription is located upstream so that we obtain while transcribing the whole gene. So that is going to make be upstream. The answer choice to our question. Thank you very much for sticking around until the end of this video. And I really hope this video hope to
