Which of the following is a nontranslated sequence located between the transcription and the translation start site?

  • A.Ending frame
  • B.Leader sequence
  • C.Trailer sequence
  • D.Reading frame

Answer: B

Correct answer: Leader sequence

The leader (5’ untranslated region) lies between the transcription start and the start codon. It is transcribed but not translated, and it carries the ribosome binding site - the Shine-Dalgarno sequence in bacteria. The corresponding untranslated stretch after the stop codon is the trailer.
