- where, in relation to the protein-coding region of a gene, are the binding sites that become occupied by nuclear receptors? (a) upstream, (b) within the coding region, (c) downstreamarrow_forwardWhich statement is false: A) Each type of protein ( ex: hemoglobin vs trypsionngen) varies in the length and amino acid sequence of its peptide B) After the rpocess of transcription is complete, the mRNA that is produced will continue being tranlsated by ribosomes for the rest of the cells life. mRNA never breaks down C) A ribosome will bind to an mRNA and will translate the sequence by reading one codon at a time and adding one amino acid to the peptide chain. It will stop the translation once it encounters a stop codon D) The gene for a protein provides the information on the legth of the peptide, along w the amino acid sequence so the protein can be synthesized by a ribosome E) Once mRNA has left the nucleus, ribosomes will bind to it and will follow the instructions in its sequence to make the new protienarrow_forwardWhich statement is TRUE of the CRM (cis-regulatory module)? a) it codes for transcription factors (TFs) b) It is frequently located far from the gene it regulates c) It contains the DNA binding sequence recognized by RNA polymerase d) It includes the coding sequence CDS of the genearrow_forward
