1. Promoter: It is located at the 5′ end of the transcription unit and provides site for attachment of transcription factors (TATA Box) and RNA polymerase.
2. tRNA: It takes part in the transfer of activated amino acids from cellular pool to ribosome so that they can take part in protein formation.
3. Exons: In eukaryotes, DNA is mosaic of exons and introns. Exons are coding sequences of DNA which are both transcribed and translated.
