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