Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
All cells have the same genes. True or false?
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 2

Questão
Which of these are examples of house-keeping genes?
Responda
  • Glycolysis enzymes
  • DNA polymerase
  • Genes that code for haemoglobin
  • Genes that code for melanin
  • Genes that code for the cytoskeleton

Questão 3

Questão
What are the types of transcript?
Responda
  • Abundant transcript
  • Rare transcript
  • No transcript
  • Positive transcript
  • Negative transcript

Questão 4

Questão
To what level are house-keeping genes normally transcribed?
Responda
  • Abundant transcript
  • Rare transcript
  • No transcript

Questão 5

Questão
When might genes that usually have no transcript be transcribed?
Responda
  • During development
  • In response to a stimuli
  • In disease states

Questão 6

Questão
The amount that genes are transcribed cannot be altered. True or false?
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 7

Questão
What are transcription factors?
Responda
  • Proteins that bind to DNA to prevent or allow transcription to occur
  • Proteins that bind to DNA and unwind it initiating transcription
  • Proteins that bind to RNA polymerase making it more efficient

Questão 8

Questão
What two transcription factors are present in the Lac Operon?
Responda
  • CAP Protein
  • Lac represser
  • Lac ZYA
  • TATA proteins

Questão 9

Questão
Where do transcription factors bind to in eukaryotes?
Responda
  • The major groove in DNA
  • The minor groove in DNA
  • The promoter
  • The telomere

Questão 10

Questão
Why do transcription factors bind to the major groove?
Responda
  • The base pairs are not exposed in the minor groove
  • There are more binding sites in the major groove
  • The major groove is more recognizable
  • There is not enough room in the minor groove

Questão 11

Questão
Transcription factors have to unwind DNA to find their binding point. True or false?
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 12

Questão
What are TATA boxes?
Responda
  • A part of DNA made up of many thymines and adenines which act as a binding site for transcription factors
  • An area of DNA where thymine and adenine alternate for more then 100 base pairs to signal the end of an intron
  • An area of DNA where thymines and adenines are added gradually throughout life that scientists use to estimate the age of someone

Questão 13

Questão
What transcription factor binds to TATA boxes?
Responda
  • TBP
  • Lac ZYA
  • CAP protein

Questão 14

Questão
What are regulatory elements?
Responda
  • Specific patterns that are recognized by regulatory factors
  • Generic patterns that are recognized by a variety of regulatory factors
  • Palindromic patterns in DNA that are recognized by regulatory factors

Questão 15

Questão
In eukaryotes, often it requires many transcription factors to lead to transcription. True or false?
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 16

Questão
Are histones positively or negatively charged?
Responda
  • Positively
  • Negatively

Questão 17

Questão
Why do histones need to positively charged?
Responda
  • So they can bind to DNA
  • So they can move through the nuclear membrane
  • So they can move through the cell membrane
  • So they don't interact with protein synthesis

Questão 18

Questão
How do transcription factors make histones disassociate from DNA?
Responda
  • They acetylate them so there is no positive charge
  • They give DNA in that area a neutral charge so the histones can no longer bind to it
  • They add chloride ions to the histones to make them negatively charged

Questão 19

Questão
Why is it necessary to disassociate the histones from DNA?
Responda
  • So that transcription can occur
  • So DNA can be replicated
  • So that DNA can coil up tight enough to fit within the nucleus of the cell
  • To allow DNA to be studied under a microscope
  • To allow DNA to form its double helix shape

Questão 20

Questão
The less differentiated a cell is the more likely it is able to go back to its undifferentiated state. True or false?
Responda
  • True
  • False
