3. Figure 2 illustrates how Pitx1 transcription is regulated in different tissues. The center image is that of a stickleback embryo. The drawings in the surrounding boxes show the Pitx1 gene region and activator proteins present in the jaw, pelvis, eye, or pituitary tissues. a. List all the tissues shown in Figure 2 that express the Pitx1 gene. b. If a fish does not produce activator 1 proteins because of a mutation in the gene that encodes those proteins, Pitx1 will be expressed in which of the following tissues? c. If a fish does not produce activator 3 proteins, Pitx1 will be expressed in which of the following tissues? d. A fish inherits a mutation in the Pitx1 coding region. This is a nonsense mutation that introduces a premature stop codon, resulting in a nonfunctional protein. Where would you expect Pitx1 to be expressed in this scenario?

Which of the following does not accurately describe eukaryotic transcriptional factors? a. Changes in transcriptional factor express can lead to changes in development. b. Most can regulate multiple different genes. c. They are each specific to one gene. d. Expression of different transcription factors leads to differentiation of cells.
Which of the following is true of CpG islands? a. They are methylated near promoters of actively transcribed genes. b. They are unmethylated near promoters of actively transcribed genes. c. Acetylation of CpG islands leads to repression of transcription. d. CpG islands code for RNA molecules that activate transcription.
Can one transcription factor sometimes act as a repressor and sometimes act as an activator? a. Yes, but it depends on where the transcription factor binds in the promoter b. Yes, but it depends on other proteins that might act with the transcription factor c. No, transcription factors are always either activators or repressors d. Yes, but only if a mutation happens
A mutation occurs in a gene, resulting in it being expressed at the wrong time during development. Where is the mutation most likely to be found? a) In the transcription start site (TSS) b) In a TF binding site in the cis-regulatory region c) In the coding sequence d) In the 5' UTR

A translocation mutation results in a silencer being inserted just upstream of the promoter of a gene (Gene X). How would you predict the expression of gene X be affected by this mutation? Gene X will not be expressed in any cell that has this mutation Gene X will not be expressed in any cell that has this mutation and the appropriate repressor protein Gene X will be expressed in any cell that has this mutation Gene X will be expressed in any cell that has this mutation and the appropriate repressor protein
