Core Promoter Elements ~~> TATA box = repetitive sequence of thymine and adenine Initiator (INR) = sequence of pyramidines like thymine and cytosine DPE = downstream promoter elements found along the DNA Common to have >1 promoter but not all of them CpG islands ~~> Sequences high in CG frequency. They are able to escape methylation which would lead to gene silencing. Demethylation would lead to over expression of genes. Regulatory Promoter Elements ~~> UAS and URS f...

Based on the data presented in the passage, which statement best describes the HSP110ΔE9 allele? A.Cancer-promoting and dominant to HSP110WT B.Cancer-promoting and recessive to HSP110WT C.Cancer-suppressing and dominant to HSP110WT D.Cancer-suppressing and recessive to HSP110WT - Cross out A and B. LOOK AT THE FIGURE! Tumor volume is DOWN. Table 2 shows that HSP110ΔE9 allele when mixed with HSP110WT there is more apoptotic cells. So it's dominant. SLOW THE HECK DOWN AND READ ...

What types of enzymes are typically constitutively expressed? Ans- enzymes in constant demand In an experiment exploring the expression of DNA repair enzymes, phage exposed to UV light had low infectivity, but when both phage and host cell E. coli were exposed to UV light, normal levels of infectivity resulted. From these data we can infer Ans- host cell genes were used to repair phage DNA The lacZ gene was used in an experiment testing for the expression of gene X. About half the re...
