In transgenics, expression of transgene in target tissue is determined by

1. enhancer
2. transgene
3. promoter
4. reporter

Correct answer: promoter

Solution

The promoter contains the regulatory information that directs transcription in specific tissues, so it determines where the transgene is expressed. The transgene is just the coding sequence, while a reporter only helps detect expression.
