What is the region on DNA where RNA polymerase binds called?
What is the DNA binding motif that plays a role in development of an organism?
In gene regulation, negative control is exerted by a __________.
In gene regulation, a gene is "turned on" by an ____________.
The lac regulatory system of E.Coli consists of three coding sequences plus a regulatory section; taken together these sequences make up an
____________.
What must happen for transcription to be initiated? (many steps)
Eukaryotes have regulatory proteins which have two distinct binding domains that allows for “control from a distance.” What are those binding
domains called?
What is the sequence of three tRNA nucleotides that is complementary to and base pairs with an mRNA codon called?
A _______ occurs when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene.
