Solution

A promoter is a part of a chromosome that can turn a gene on or off. It is a region of DNA that initiates transcription of a particular gene. Promoters are located near the transcription start sites of genes, on the same strand and upstream on the DNA (towards the 5' region of the sense strand). They are essential for regulation of gene expression.
