• Transcription

• Translation

• Post-translational modification of proteins

Multiple Select

Which levels include types of gene expression in eukaryotes?

• Transcription

• Translation

• Post-translational modification of proteins

Multiple Choice

Proteins that bind to the operator sequence and silence gene expression via halting transcription

• Negative Regulators

• Inducible Operons

• Positive Regulators

Multiple Choice

Proteins that activate or repress transcription

- Activation/repression depends on the local environment and the needs of the cell.

• Negative Regulators

• Inducible Operons

• Positive Regulators

Multiple Choice

Proteins that bind the promoter in order to activate gene expression via turning on transcription

• Negative Regulators

• Inducible Operons

• Positive Regulators

You can't express a gene if a polymerase can't access it!

Multiple Choice

Which type of chemical tag causes the tightening of the nucleosomes?

• DNA methylation

• Histone acetylation?

Multiple Choice

Which type of chemical tag causes the relaxing and unwinding of nucleosomes?

• Histone acetylation

• DNA methylation

Multiple Choice

Transcription activation factors bind to the _______ in the enhancer region of DNA. (hint- multiple genes can have the same promoter region but still have different molecules of these)

• TATA box

Multiple Choice

What does the RISC silencing complex accomplish to mRNAs?

• Enhance translation
