Document Summary

Rnap ii-mediated transcription is normally regulated by 2 control elements in the dna: promoter proximal are upstream (5") of and close to the gene to be transcribed, enhancer elements dna sequences distant from the promoter and gene. The eukaryotic rna polymerases (i, ii, and iii) differ in the associated protein components required for promoter recognition and transcriptional initiation. Eukaryotic rna polymerase ii complex is the primary polymerase responsible for transcribing protein-coding genes leading to the synthesis of mrna. Figure 21. 20 shows the structure of the yeast rna polymerase ii protein complex with a short rna strand annealed to the dna template strand in the middle of a transcription bubble. The rna polymerase ii complex is recruited to gene promoter regions by the dna binding protein tbp, which is functionally analogous to the bacterial -factor protein. Tbp is a component of the transcription factor iid (tfiid) complex, which does not include the rna polymerase ii complex.

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.
