Question

Which two regions of a gene, when mutated, could lead to ubiquitous expression throughout an embryo?

Answer 1

Answer) two regions are:

Promoter Region Increases the binding of RNA polymerase leading to increased gene transcription

1) A promoter is a regulatory region of DNA located upstream (towards the 5' region) of a gene, providing a control point for regulated gene transcription. The promoter contains specific DNA sequences that are recognized by proteins known as transcription factors.

2) Coding Region Increases the stability of the gene mRNA leading to more translation (i.e. more protein).

he coding region of a gene is the part of the gene that will be eventually transcribed and translated into protein, i.e., the sum total of its exons. Normally, only a small percentage of a given gene will actually form its coding regions.
