A mutation in the promoter region can change the binding site for a transcription factor that normally binds to increase transcription. The mutation could either decrease the ability of the transcription factor to bind, thereby decreasing transcription, or it can increase the ability of the transcription factor to bind, thus increasing transcription.

The binding of ________ is required for transcription to start. 1. a protein 2. DNA polymerase 3. RNA polymerase 4. a transcription factor

3. RNA polymerase.RNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesises RNA using DNA as a template. As a result, the transcription (synthesis of RNA) cannot begin without RNA polymerase.

If by mutation or aging if the transcription factor diminish.....then is there a way to upregulate the transcription factor

If a mutation or aging in any of the homeotic transcription factors occur, an organism will not develop correctly

2.3) Give short explanations for the following terms: promoter; “upstream” end of a transcription unit; “downstream” end of a transcription unit; Poly A tail.

A promoter is a sequence of DNA needed to turn a gene on or off. Upstream refers to points in production that originate early on in the processes.Downstream where products get produced...

Transcription is the first step in transmitting genetic information. Transcription flows in the direction?

RNA polymerase synthesizes an RNA transcript complementary to the DNA template strand in the 5' to 3' direction. It moves forward along the template strand in the 3' to 5'...
