Progesterone is a steroid hormone (also described as a ligand) that prepares the body for pregnancy. It binds to the progesterone receptor (PR) protein in the cytoplasm of various cells. Ligand bound PR acts as a transcriptional activator, binds to the DNA in the promoter region of several genes and leads to transcriptional activation of these genes. Which of the following statements must be true for the PR protein? O Ligand binding to the PR results in a conformational change in the primary structure of the protein The domain/region of the PR protein that interacts with the DNA, has basic amino acids Ligand binding to the PR results in a conformational change in the tertiary structure of the protein The domain/region of the PR protein that interacts with the DNA, has acidic amino acids

Identify two genetic mechanisms whereby proto-oncogenes can become overexpressed.Select the two mechanisms. 1) alterations in chromatin structure 2) a gain-of-function alteration 3)modification of proto-oncogenes products 4)mutations that result in an abnormal protein product 5)mutations within gene-regulatory regions
Recently, scientists constructed a transgene that expresses a mutant form of Drosophila histone H3 inwhich lysine 27 in the histone tail was changed to methionine (H3K27M). Expression of the H3K27Mtransgene results in aberrant development of fruit fliesbecause of inappropriate expression of many differentgenes. Explain this finding.
