Since you have asked multiple question, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.

The upstream activator sequence is a cis-acting regulatory sequence. The cis-regulatory sequence is the portion of non-coding DNA that directs the transcription of neighboring genes. This portion is different from the promoter and it improves the expression of an adjacent gene. It is positioned proximate and upstream to the TATA box and assists as a binding site for transactivators. Upstream activator sequences are an essential element of the initiation of transcription in some eukaryotic genes. They improve the expression of the protein of interest through improved transcriptional action.
