2.12 Proteins Are trans-acting, but Sites on DNA Are cis-acting cis-acting mutations identify sequences of DNA that are targets for recognition by trans-acting products. They are not expressed as RNA or protein and affect only the contiguous stretch of DNA. FIGURE 18: A cis-acting site controls expression of the adjacent DNA but does not influence the other allele FIGURE 19: A trans-acting mutation in a protein affects both alleles of a gene that it controls Chapter 2Genes Code for Proteins 2.1 Introduction allele – One of several alternative forms of a gene occupying a given locus on a ch
