(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.

How are Eukaryotic cells different than Prokaryotic cells, in terms of evolution which form of the cell might have came first? How do Eukaryotic cells become malignant (cancerous)?arrow_forwardWhat are the roles of DNA and proteins inside of the cell? What are the building blocks or molecular components of the DNA and proteins? How are proteins produced within the cell? What connection is there between DNA, proteins, and the cell cycle? What is the relationship between DNA, proteins, and Cancer?arrow_forwardWhy cells go through various types of cell division and how eukaryotic cells control cell growth through the cell cycle control system?arrow_forward

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forward
