An active mobile genetic element is predicted to sometimes alter the normal transcription patterns of a gene without altering the coding sequence of the gene. In which of the following genomic regions would insertion of a mobile element cause such gene expression change

   within the center of an intron
   within an exon
   at an intron-exon boundary
   within the upstream cis-regulatory region
   next to another mobile genetic element already present
