Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The incorrect thing in the given experimental design.

Introduction:

The enhancer sequences are regulatory DNA sequences. It binds with the specific proteins which are transcription factors and enhance the transcription of that gene. It is present upstream of a gene.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

Another experiment which is used to identify insulators.

Introduction:

An insulator is a genetic boundary element which blocks the interaction between promoters and enhancers. Therefore, insulator determines the set of genes that are influenced by an enhancer.
