Explanation / Answer

The promoter element that are present always in promoter are -35 and -10 and spacer.The -35 element centered 45 base pairs upstream of the start point transcription,this sequence has the consensus sequence TTGACA..The -10 sequence centred 10 base pairs upstrean of the start point of transcription,this sequence element has the consensus sequence TATAAT.The spacer is a distance between the above two conserved elements is also important and is conserved 17 plus minus 1 base pairs.

the elements which could be missing or alrered are GC BOX,UP ELEMENT(ACTIVATOR AND REPRESSOR),DISCRIMINATOR.

The eukaryotic promoter differs from the prokaryotic promoter in having TATA BOX,CAAT BOX
