Question

Which of the following is a consensus sequence?

(a) Promoter sequence

(b) Enhancer sequence

(c) Terminator sequence

(d) All of the mentioned

This question was addressed to me in an online interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Genes, Chromosomes and Genomes topic in chapter Bioenergetics, Enzymes, Metabolism, Genes, Chromosomes and Genomes of Cell Biology

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) All of the mentioned

The best explanation: Consensus sequence is the most common version of conserved gene sequence which has minute variations from gen to gene. A promoter sequence, enhancer sequence and terminator sequence of a particular gene is conserved and are consensus sequences.
