Regulation of Gene Expression

AP Biology· difficulty 3/5

Enhancers in eukaryotic genomes

  • A

    Are repetitive DNA sequences that loop to silence promoters when repressor proteins bind to them

  • B

    Are distant DNA sequences that loop to contact promoters and boost transcription when activator TFs bind

    check_circle
  • C

    Are part of the core promoter where RNA polymerase II directly assembles to begin transcription

  • D

    Are coding regions transcribed and translated into regulatory proteins that boost gene expression

Explanation

Enhancers can be far upstream, downstream, or even within genes; DNA looping brings them close to promoters.
