1. Draw a simplified model of a cis-regulatory element with multiple trans-acting factors up-regulating gene expression. Your simplified model must include: a double-stranded DNA molecule labeled with its appropriate orientation (3' and 5', etc.), an area of DNA highlighting the gene of interest to be transcribed, a highlighted area showing the promoter region, one cis-regulatory element upstream of the promoter with its specific transcription factor • RNApol + a general transcription factor + a TATA binding protein all bound to the appropriate area (think about where these bind before transcription starts), an upstream enhancer with its transcription factor bound to it, ally the TSS. and All parts must be labeled and in the correct area to earn full credit. **I suggest using different colors for this drawing problem**.

Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. Draw a simplified model of a cis-regulatory element with multiple trans-acting factors
up-regulating gene expression.
Your simplified model must include:
a double-stranded DNA molecule labeled with its appropriate orientation (3' and
5', etc.),
an area of DNA highlighting the gene of interest to be transcribed,
a highlighted area showing the promoter region,
one cis-regulatory element upstream of the promoter with its specific
transcription factor
• RNApol + a general transcription factor + a TATA binding protein all bound to the
appropriate area (think about where these bind before transcription starts),
an upstream enhancer with its transcription factor bound to it,
• and finally the TSS.
All parts must be labeled and in the correct area to earn full credit. **I suggest using
different colors for this drawing problem**.
