Which of the following is true for the unwinding of the DNA helix and the synthesis of a short stretch of RNA?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

  1. The process requires a helicase and a primase as in DNA replication.

  2. In transcription, these steps proceed via an RNA polymerase holoenzyme.

  3. The unwinding and subsequent synthesis above serve as a primer for chain elongation.

  4. All of the above

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In this pedigree I 1 and II 2 have Becker muscular dystrophy which shows X-linked recessive inheritance. III 2 has oculocutaneous albinism which shows autosomal recessive inheritance with an incidence in the general population of 1 in 10 000. The disease status for both Becker muscular dystrophy and oculocutaneous albinism is unknown for IV 1 and IV 2.
What is the probability that IV 2 will be affected with oculocutaneous albinism?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

Embryonic stem cells can be induced in the laboratory to differentiate into muscle, nerve, pancreatic, and other specialized cell types. It has recently become possible to trigger the dedifferentiation of somatic cells back into pluripotent cells (so-called induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells) by artificially enhancing the production of a relatively small number of key transcriptional factors known to be required for maintenance of pluripotency. Examples of such transcription factors are OCT4 and NANOG. The production of OCT4 and NANOG (and other key regulatory proteins) is stimulated by a transcription factor known as FOXP1, a member of the Forkhead family of DNA-binding proteins. There are two isoforms of FOXP1.

Which of the following statement regarding to FOXP1 is incorrect?
