(a)

Summary Introduction

To draw: An ‘X’ above enhancers of all the given genes where the activators will bind for the transcription of gene 5.

Concept introduction:

Enhancers are distal control elements located away from the transcribing gene. The control elements of enhancers are short DNA nucleotide sequences. They regulate the expression of specific target genes by binding to the specific transcription factors. These may be either activators (activate transcription) or repressors (repress transcription). Specific activator proteins bind to the control elements of enhancers and promote the transcription.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To draw: A ‘dot’ above the enhancers will bind to green, blue, and orange activators present in a cell and identify which gene would be transcribed.

Concept introduction:

Enhancers are distal control elements located away from the transcribing gene. The control elements of enhancers are short DNA nucleotide sequences. They regulate the expression of specific target genes by binding to the specific transcription factors. These may be either activators (activate transcription) or repressors (repress transcription). Specific activator proteins bind to the control elements of enhancers and promote the transcription.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To identify: The activators that would be present in nerve cells and skin cells to ensure the transcription.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
