Document Summary

What is a promoter: a sequence of dna attracting an rna polymerase to it so that transcription can begin there!!! Rna polymerase binds to promoter and reads downstream, from 3" to 5 on template strand. This stops at a terminator, to stop the faggot rna polymerase. In prokaryotes [not eukaryotes] the promoter region can be set up so that multiple genes can be under the control of one promoter. So the mrna has multiple gene messages on it. 10 sequence [10 units upstream of start point of transcription where 5" rna would add on to 3" strand called the tata or. 35 sequence is a ttgaca on the 5", also important. They are notable because they are all like this or super close. If they are totally exact as ttgaca and tataat for -35 and -10 are supper attractive for rna polymerase.

please help i am a bit confused

1 DNA sequences found in introns provide [A] amino acid sequence information.

[B] regulatory information.
[C] no known useful information.

[D] structure for the gene.
[E] alternative DNA splicing possibilities.

3. The TATA box is a(n)
[A] sequence close to the promoter region of many genes.
[B] square-shaped sequence.
[C] enhancer consensus sequence.
[D] activator sequence necessary for proper translation.
[E] None of the above

5. Regarding genes and gene expression, which of the following is not a difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
[A] Eukaryotic DNA does not contain a TATA box close to the initiation site as does prokaryotic DNA.

[B] In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase requires

'transcription factors'or initiation.

[C] Prokaryotic genes are often grouped together in

operons.

[D] In eukaryotes, the regulation of several genes at once requires common control elements in each of the genes.
[E] There is a diversity of eukaryotic polymerases that is reflected in the diversity of eukaryotic promoters.

10) In eukaryotic cells, a repressor

[A] is made of DNA.
[B] binds to the enhancer region to block transcription. [

C] is located both upstream and downstream from the promoter.
[D] binds to the operator to block RNA polymerase.

[E] binds to a silencer to reduce transcription rates.

Coordinated regulation of genes in eukaryotic cells [A] is the result of positioning the same regulatory sequence in front of each gene.
[B] results from all of those genes being under the control of one promoter.

[C] occurs because related genes all have the same

operons.
[D] occurs because enhancers cause DNA to bend.

Please help on these. Thank you!

Question 1

Which of the following is NOT a channel in the RNA polymeraseenzyme?

		RNA exit channel
		DNA entry channel
		DNA exit channel
		Nucleotide exit channel

Question 2

A promoter region upstream of a bacterial gene typically has thesequence TTGACA in the -35 position and TATAAT in the -10 position.If there was a 5 bp insertion at the -40 position, such thateverything downstream was shifted (ie: the "-35 element" is now atthe -30 from the transcription start site), which of the followingwill occur?

		Sigma protein will not bind and so no transcription willoccur.
		RNA polymerase will not bind and so no transcription willoccur.
		Sigma protein will bind to its target sequences and sotranscription will start 5bp downstream from the originaltranscription start site.
		Sigma protein will bind as usual and transcription will startappropriately at the transcription start site.

Question 3

A person has a mutation that prevents TFIIH from being produced.Which of the following outcomes will occur?

		No transcription because TFIID will not be able to bind.
		No transcription because the DNA strand will not be opened.
		Transcription will occur, but it will not be in the correctposition.
		Transcription will occur as usual.

Question 4

There are 4 rRNAs produced to make both subunits of theribosome. How many transcripts are required to produce these 4rRNAs?

		1
		2
		3
		4

Question 5

True or False: the 5' 7m-Gppp cap is attached to the start codonof the mRNA.

		True.
		False, the cap is attached to the 5'-untranslated region.
		False - the cap is attached to the 3'-untranslated region.
		False, the cap is attached to the polyA tail.

Question 6

During the splicing mechanism, which of the following joins twoexons together?

		A 2'OH attacks a 5' phosphate
		A 5' phosphate attacks a 2'OH
		A 3'OH attacks a 5' phosphate
		A 5' phosphate attacks a 3'OH Question 7 After their experiment in Neurospora, Beadle and Tatum concludedthat each single genes code for single enzymes. Do you agree withtheir statement, why or why not?
