Match each term associated with genes and control of gene expression with the appropriate description. A transcriptional unit" that consists of promoter multiple genes under the control of a single regulatory element. A transcriptional regulatory protein (prokaryotic or eukaryotic) which works by turning on or increasing gene transcription. activator The region of a gene to which RNA polymerase binds. Enhancer A transcriptional regulatory protein prokaryotic or eukaryotic) which works by turning off or decreasing gene transcription. repressor A molecule that...
Question 1 2 pts The expression of certain bacterial genes is regulated. Match each term with the correct definition This is a small molecule that binds a repressor protein, causing the protein to change from an inactive form to an active form. I Choose ] Regulatory gene Promoter Terminator Structural gene Repressor protein Operator Inducer Corepressor This is a specific nucleotide sequen that a repressor protein binds to This is a specific nucleotide sequence Choose where RNA polymerase begins transcription...
The diagram below illustrates the LAC operon in its OFF state when the inducer molecule —lactose—is absent. Predict the ways in which the following conditions will affect the transcription of the lactose-utilization genes. OPERON Regulatory Promoter Operator_ gene Lactose-utilization genes DNA mRNA RNA polymerase cannot attach to promoter Active repressor Protein If a mutation in the regulatory gene results in a misfolding of the repressor protein so that it can no longer bind DNA, the lactose-utilization genes O Will be...
on and 6. Draw the same Eukaryotic transcript after splicing has removed the m label the remaining parts. 7. Describe the roles of the following features involved in Eukaryotic transcription: TATA Binding Protein General Transcription Factors Polymerase II 8. In Eukaryotic transcription, which happens first? A. The General Transcription Factors are recruited, and the Preinitiation complex (PIC) is assembled. B. The TBP binds the promoter 9. Describe the carboxy terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II and two of its...
Which one of the following is the main reason that a typical eukaryotic gene is able to respond to a far greater variety of regulatory signals than a typical prokaryotic gene or operon? A. Eukaryotes have three types of RNA polymerase. B. Eukaryotic RNA polymerases require general transcription factors. C. The transcription of a eukaryotic gene can be influenced by proteins that bind far from the promoter. D. Prokaryotic genes are packaged into nucleosomes.
1. How is the start codon identified in prokaryotic cells? a. It is the only AUG on the mRNA strand. b. It is the AUG after the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. c. It is the AUG right next to the promoter on the mRNA. d. It is the AUG after the Kozak sequence. e. It is the AUG nearest the 5' end of the mRNA. 2. All of the following are true for eukaryotic transcription EXCEPT: a. Transcription can be terminated when...
Which of the following correctly describes eukaryotic transcriptional control? a. A transcription factor is a DNA molecule that helps RNA polymerase to bind to the enhancer of a specific gene. b. An enhancer is a protein that encourages gene expression by binding to the DNA. c. The promoter is the region of RNA where DNA polymerase will bind to begin transcription. d. The interaction of multiple transcription factors may be required in order to transcribe a...
3. This is a schematic of a very simple pattern of gene expression. Yes means the protein is present and can bind the promoter. No means the protein is absent. Transcription factors are proteins that help regulate transcription by binding DNA Activators are transcription factors that help transcription. For example, they bend the promoter and make it accessible to RNA polymerase. Repressors are transcription factors that inhibit transcription. For example, they might bind the promoter and stop the RNA polymerase...
3. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene expression compared. Below is an incomplete table of prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene expression in comparison. Fill in the blank using PPT slides, notes and the textbook. Prokaryotic gene expression Eukaryotic gene expression Overview Steps Transcription and translation Yes Transcription and translation coupled? Gene structure No introns Epigenetic modification (chromosome remodeling) transcription, translation, RNA processing, protein processing Transcription in the nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm Interrupted gene with exons and introns RNAPI, II, III Which...
