(a)
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
(b)
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)
To identify: The activators that would be present in nerve cells and skin cells to ensure the transcription.
Concept introduction:
Enhancers are distal control elements located away from the transcribing gene. The control elements of enhancers are short DNA nucleotide sequences.

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between Uniporters, Symporters and Antiporters?
