Two genes (B and C) are transcription factors that affect the expression of gene A. The protein product of gene B allows gene A to be transcribed while the protein product of gene C doubles the rate of transcription of gene A. How does the expression of gene A differ between two individuals with the following genotypes? Assume lower case alleles produce non-functional proteins and each gene shows complete dominance.
Individual 1: AA : BB : Cc
Individual 2: AA : Bb : cc
Ans:
The High levels (double rates) of expression of gene A occurs in Individual I because individual I has both dominant alleles B and C (BBCc). So, the protein products of functional gene B and C allow gene A to transcribed at double rate.
The low levels of expression of gene A occurs in individual II because individual II doesn't has functional C gene (cc) products. So, the protein product of functional B gene (Bb) allows gene A to transcribed at low rate.
Two genes (B and C) are transcription factors that affect the expression of gene A. The...
How do transcription factors affect gene expression? a.) They are molecules that can turn genes on or off. b.) They are mRNAs that contain extra information that is not part of the DNA genome. c.)They modify the chromosome structure to create mutations. d.) They are signals that tell cells whether to divide or not.

QUESTION 4 Which of the following is NOT a mechanisms of protein expression? Specific transcription factors binding to enhancers Export of mRNA into the cytoplasm DNA polymerase phosphorylation 5'UTR secondary structure blocking AUG QUESTION 5 Suppose you have all the necessary proteins for transcription of a gene present AND active/turned on AND in the right location within the cell. Under what conditions would you NOT see transcription of that gene? UmRNA has already been transcribed from that gene but has...
In sweet peas, two genes (genes A and B) control flower color. The dominant alleles of both genes produce enzymes that function in the biochemical pathway shown to convert colorless precursors to a purple pigment. The recessive alleles do not produce enzyme. Therefore, at least one dominant allele of both gene A and gene B are required for purple flowers. Answer the questions about this biochemical pathway. ΑΑ, Αα BB, Bb Enzyme A Enzyme B Colorless precursor 1 Colorless precursor...
Consider a hypothetical population with two genes. Each of these two genes have two alleles (A & a, B & b). These genes are not linked, and these genes are true dominant/recessive (i.e. not co-dominant or incomplete dominance... "A" dominant to "a" and "B" dominant to "b"). Suppose you perform a monohybrid cross of an AABB homozygote with an aabb homozygote through to the F2 generation. In 2019, the genotype frequency of individuals with "aa" (regardless of their B/b genes)...
NF-kappa B (NFKB) proteins are transcription factors that control the expression of genes involved in cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation inflammation, and apoptosis. Dysfunction within the NFkB pathway can trigger indefinite cell proliferation and cell survival leading to the development of tumors. Stimul OS NIYA W IDTNOM IMAM IMENOVE 1. Explain how NFKB proteins are activated to promote cell survival. 2. How would a cell evade apoptosis if an IB Inhibitor of kappa B) protein could no longer bind...
The color of some beans is controlled by three different genes, A, B, and C, making bean color a polygenic treat.

Why would changes in the genes for transcription factors be expected to generate major phenotypic differences? They are extremely powerful genes. They can affect the expression of small numbers of other genes. Their gene products are remarkably stable. Their gene products normally denature more rapidly than other gene products. They can affect the expression of large numbers of other genes. Which enzyme, also responsible for siRNA formation, carves miRNAs from their double-stranded, fold- back RNA precursor (pre-miRNA)? Dicer ribonuclease RNA...
