Question
I need parts d, e and f solved please
Below is the double-stranded DNA sequence of part of a hypothetical yeast genome, which
happens to contain a very small gene. Transcription starts at the Transcription Start Site (TSS)
after the promoter (in yellow) and proceeds in the direction of the arrow. Transcription stops at
the end of the Transcription Terminator sequence on the right (in blue).
