Looking at a sequence of DNA, what is the order you would expect when using adding a reporter? Upstream

1 Promotor
2 Gene
3 ATG - transcription start
4 Reporter
5 Non-coding DNA (AKA Junk or spacer DNA)
6 Proximal control elements

Final answer:

The order of using a reporter in a DNA sequence includes upstream, promoter, gene, ATG - transcription start, reporter, non-coding DNA, and proximal control elements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order you would expect when using a reporter in a sequence of DNA is as follows:

  1. Upstream - refers to DNA 5' to a given reference point on the DNA
  2. Promoter - a DNA sequence that specifies where to begin transcription and denotes which DNA strand to copy
  3. Gene - the region of DNA that contains the coding sequence for a protein
  4. ATG - transcription start - the start site for the synthesis of an RNA transcript
  5. Reporter - a DNA sequence that is used to detect gene expression
  6. Non-coding DNA (AKA Junk or spacer DNA) - DNA sequences that do not encode proteins
  7. Proximal control elements - DNA sequences that help regulate the transcription of nearby genes
