Think about how environmental influences affect gene expression. Would you argue that ânatureâ (genes) or ânurtureâ (environment) is more important in the ultimate phenotypic expression of an organism? Use two example organisms in your answer and cite at least two different sources.

1. Outline the fundamental mechanisms that control eukaryoticgene expression at different levels? please explain in detail.

2. Describe some of the general ways in which (specific)transcription factors are regulated and how they in turn canregulate gene expression

You start to design anexperiment to determine if testosterone plays a role in geneexpression changes in your organism. You set up several replicatesof the experiment using different cells types from yourmulticellular organism. In each, you want to measure mRNA levels ofgenes both before and after treatment with testosterone. Explain(including the role of testosterone in this process, and how itworks) how a gene would:

a.increase in gene expression following treatment

b.decrease in gene expression following treatment

c.not change its expression following treatment

Be sure to include all theproteins/ enzymes, etc...as well as the sequence of events leadingto the gene expression changes.
