The correct answer to this question is True. Gene sequences start with promoter genes. These genes send signals, which start the step of transcription. From there, there is a start and stop codon, which has three base sequences. Those three sequences alert the polymerase of the direction that the sequence should be read in.

Gene sequencing is also known as DNA sequencing. This type of question is important for someone studying science or biology to know. It is extremely important for a scientist to know because they can use the sequencing to determine which DNA's have genes and which carry instructions.

True. a gene sequence begins with a promotor genes which signals the starting the starting of transcription. the start and stop codon are 3 base sequences that tells the polymerase in which direction the sequence should be read.
