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
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) What is a gene promoter? b) What proteins bind to a promoter? c) What do those proteins do to control gene expression?
Which of the following is true of transcription factors? A)The same transcription factors are found in all cell types. B)They can increase or decrease gene expression. C)They are a type of cis-acting element. D)They bind only to promoters.
Is each of the following statements true or false? A. An enhancer is a type of regulatory element. B. A core promoter is a type of regulatory element. C. Regulatory transcription factors bind to regulatory elements. D. An enhancer may cause the down regulation of transcription.
Which of the following is an example of post-transcriptionalcontrol of gene expression?(A) the addition of methyl groups to cytosine bases of DNA(B) the binding of transcription factors to a promoter(C) the removal of introns and alternative splicing of exons(D) gene amplification contributing to cancer
Why is regulating transcription the main way that cells control gene expression? A. Because transcription is the last step in gene expression, stopping here ensures that the cell has a stockpile of proteins to prepare them from all unexpected environmental changes. B. Because transcription involves interactions with DNA, preventing transcription reduces the changes of mutation in the cell’s genome. C. Because transcription is the first step in gene expression, stopping at transcription reduces the amount of energy and resources used by producing unnecessary gene products. D. Because transcription is the shortest step in gene expression, preventing transcription has little effect on the rate of protein production.
What is the difference between the core promoter and the regulatory promoter? a. Only the core promoter has consensus sequences. b. The regulatory promoter is farther upstream of the gene. c. General transcription factors bind to the core promoter; transcriptional activator proteins bind to the regulatory promoter. d. Both b and c.

What determines which transcription factors will be able to regulate a particular gene's expression? A. The collection of control element sequences that are associated with that gene B. The location of that gene sequence (which chromosome it is located on) C. The sequence of introns present in that gene D. The sequence of exons present in that gene ..
