Question

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 from binding. a. Use circles for activators and squares for repressors. Draw the shapes bound to each promoter region. b. Under the word gene write "ON" or "OFF" to indicate if the gene is transcribed or not under the different conditions. promoter gene Activator Repressor yes yes no yes yes no no no

Transcription factor helps turn ON and OFF a specific gene. activators help and enhance the gene expression while Repressors repress the gene expression.

Transcription is process by which RNA is produced by using DNA as a template.
