Textbook Question
Chapter 17.2, Problem 1CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS → In a research artide about alkaptonuria published in 1902, Garrod suggested that humans inherit two "characters" (alleles) for a particular enzyme and that both parents must contribute a faulty version for the offspring to have alkaptonuria. Today, would this disorder be called dominant or recessive? (See Concept 14.4.)
1. What is a promoter? Is it located at the upstream or downstream end of a transcription unit?

E30. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay can be used to study the
binding of proteins to a segment of DNA. In the experiment shown
here, an EMSA was used to examine the requirements for the bind-
ing of RNA polymerase II (from eukaryotic cells) to the promoter
of a protein-encoding gene. The assembly of general transcription
factors and RNA polymerase II at the core promoter is described
in Chapter 12 (Figure 12.14). In this experiment, the segment of
DNA containing a promoter sequence was 1100 bp in length. The
fragment was mixed with various combinations of proteins and
then subjected to an EMSA.

- The enormous complexity in initiating eukaryotic gene transcription seems at first glance to be wasteful. What is the most plausible reason for requiring so many different proteins to assemble on a large array of DNA sequences in order to initiate transcription? O The use of large numbers of proteins and regulatory sequences in DNA opens many possibilities for sophisticated combinatorial gene regulation O The need to open chromatin for transcription demands a much larger number of proteins and regulatory sequences in DNA O The use of large numbers of proteins and regulatory sequences in DNA is essential for alternative splicing of hnRNA in eukaryotes O The larger number of eukaryotic genes demands a correspondingly larger transcription apparatus than that of prokaryotes The larger size of eukaryotic cells demands a correspondingly larger transcription apparatus than that of prokaryotesarrow_forward24arrow_forwardpls help me to do these my activity and answer properlyarrow_forward
