You are studying the rate of transcription of a particular eukaryotic gene. When the DNA located several thousand bases upstream from the gene is removed, the transcription rate of the gene decreases dramatically. How would you interpret these results?
A biology professor at a prestigious university stated to his introductory
class that "Today, a basic understanding of DNA and genetics is as important as a basic understanding of computers and the internet."Based upon what you have learned about DNA and gene expression in this module, how could you make a case to support this statement?
With regard to transcriptional termination in eukaryotes, which model suggests that RNA polymerase is physically removed from the DNA?
a. Allosteric model
b. Torpedo model
c. Both models
d. Neither model
