What is the primary role of an enhancer in a biological context?

• To enhance gene expression

• To degrade proteins

• To inhibit gene expression

• By directly binding to the gene

• By modifying the gene's sequence

• By interacting with transcription factors

• By silencing the gene

Which of the following is a characteristic of enhancers?

• They are always located next to the gene they regulate

• They are part of the gene's coding sequence

• They can function at a distance from the gene

• They only work in prokaryotic cells

In what way can enhancers be utilized in biotechnology?

• To decrease the lifespan of organisms

• To eliminate genetic diseases

• To create new species

• To increase the yield of genetically modified crops

Which of the following is an example of an enhancer's application?

• Enhancing the color of flowers

• Increasing the resistance of plants to pests
