In a hypothetical situation, the genes for sex pilus construction and for tetracycline resistance are located together on the same plasmid within a particular bacterium. If this bacterium readily performs conjugation involving a copy of this plasmid, then the resultshould be

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. a transformed bacterium.

  2. the rapid spread of tetracycline resistance to other bacteria in that habitat.

  3. the subsequent loss of tetracycline resistance from this bacterium.

  4. the production of endospores among the bacteriumʹs progeny.

Statement: When phosphorylated, CREB binds to CREs near certain genes and acts as a transcription factor, turning on the expression of these genes.

Explanation: I-Regulation can result from phosphorylation of Nuclear transcription factor

II- Activation of a protein kinase in the nucleus that phosphorylates specific DNA-binding proteins and thereby alters their ability to act as transcription factors.

The sequence of transcriptional activation events at a typical Pol II promote

I- Mediator facilitates the binding of TBP (or TFIID) and TFIIB, and the other basal transcription factors and Pol II then bind.

II- Activators bind the DNA.

III-The activators recruit the histone modification/nucleosome remodeling complexes and a coactivator such as Media.

IV- Phosphorylation of the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of Pol II leads to transcription initiation.

Some steroid hormone receptors function in the nucleus as transcription activators, stimulating the transcription of certain genes when a particular steroid hormone signal is present. When the hormone is absent, the receptor proteins revert to a repressor conformation, preventing the formation of PICs. It is an example of;
