Which one of the following explanations best accounts for this difference in stem cell and specialized cell gene expression? A. Stem cells and specialized cells have different activators and repressors that affect transcription B. Stem cells and specialized cells have different promoter sequences for their genes, thus affecting transcription C. Stem cells and specialized cells have different ribosomes that affect translation D. Stem cells and specialized cells use different start codons on mRNAs, thus affecting translation

Transcriptional repressor proteins (e.g., lac repressor), antisense RNA, and feedback inhibition are three different mechanisms that turn off the expression of genes and gene products. Which of these three mechanisms will be most effective in each of the following situations? A. Shutting down the synthesis of a polypeptide B. Shutting down the synthesis of mRNA C. Shutting off the function of a protein For your answers to parts A–C that list more than one mechanism, which mechanism will be the fastest or the most efficient?

The direction of translation is determined by…… The tissue-specificity of protein production is determined by…. choices: a. location of the start codon b. location of the promoter c. direction of polymerization by RNA polymerase d. none of these e. direction of movement of ribosomes f. overall orientation of the chromosome
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.
If a mutation occurred in a control element sequence associated with a particular gene, which of the following would be a likely consequence of this? A. This mutation is not likely to affect the expression of the associated gene, because RNA polymerase does not bind to control elements. B. This will likely affect the expression of the associated gene because it will loosen the coiling of chromatin at this site. C. The expression of the associated gene will be affected because this change will result in a nonsense mutation. D. This mutation is not likely to affect the expression of the associated gene, since control elements are noncoding sequences. E. The associated gene's expression would likely be affected, since this mutation would change the ability of at least one transcription factor to bind.
