Regulation of Gene Expression in Eukaryotes In all organisms, certain genes are expressed at any given...
Which of the following is not true regarding regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes? In eukaryotic cells, transcriptional activators often work by recruiting the transcriptional macinery to gene promoters DNA methylation is an example of an epigenetic mark that can be inherited Acetylation of histones can result in a more open chromatin structure to allow transcription to occur Different genes can be turned off or on between different organs or stages of development Transcription factor DNA sequences are bound by...
In eukaryotic cells, there are specific transcription factors (activators) that regulate gene expression. Describe the organization of eukaryotic genes (i.e. promoters/enhancers) and how transcription factors are able to control gene expression and enzyme activity. a) Throughout the course we discussed the enzyme lactase and how it is differently regulated (and therefore expressed) in different human populations. Describe how this gene is differently expressed in different populations and when this/these change(s) are predicted to have taken place. b) Differential gene expression...
Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes regulate gene expression, turning genes on and off in response to various cues. Which of the following mechanisms is common to both types of cells? Choose all that apply. alternative splicing of mRNA opening or condensing chromatin transcriptional regulation post-translational regulation
Regulation of Gene Expression in Eukaryotes In eukaryotes, the Central Dogma of Genetics can be expanded to include post-transcriptional processing and post-translational processing, thus the Dogma becomes: Replication - Transcription Post-transcriptional Processing -Translation - Post-translational Processing - Functional Protein - Expressed Trait. This is the flow of information from the genetic material to the actual physical, chemical or behavioral trait in an organism. Of course, some traits are controlled by multiple genes and some also have an environmental component. At...
Choose two (2) of the mechanisms of gene expression regulation in eukaryotic cells denoted by rows shown (7 possible in the Figure below. I will only grade your first to for completeness and will NOT grade any more that you write. If you do an EXTRAODINARY job on your answers, you may ear bonus points For each of your choices answer the following 4 questions using COMPLETE sentences 1. What are the base structural differences between molecules (pink, blue or...
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...
The main differences in gene expression between prokaryotes and eukaryotes result from the presence of a nucleus in eukaryotes. Which of the following is FALSE when comparing transcription between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? Prokaryotic mRNA goes through multiple modifications before translation Eukaryotic genes have introns that need to be removed before translation Prokaryotic mRNA can be translated while it is still being transcribed Eukaryotic mRNA needs a 'cap and a 3'tall to prevent its degradation 0/2 pts Question 45 Lets play...

Question 19 Without maintenance methyltransferase, the changes made by DNA methyltransferase would not a. be able to increase transcription of a gene. b. be passed on from one generation to the next c. coordinate regulation across different genes. d. produce microRNA. e. be able to decrease transcription of a gene....
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 2b Which answer best summarizes how eukaryotic and bacterial RNA polymerases are different? a. Eukaryotes have several types of multimeric RNA polymerases, whereas bacteria only have one monomeric RNA polymerase. b. Eukaryotes have several types of RNA polymerases, one...
