The area of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are x, y, z square units respectively. If the volume of the cuboid be y cubic units, then the correct relation between U, X, y, z is

In multicellular organisms, regulatory sequences can spread thousands of nucleotides from the promoter—both upstream and downstream—and can be made up of tens of regulator binding sites. Often, these binding sites are grouped in units called_?

Activators can recruit factors needed for polymerase to initiate or elongate transcription. In all of these functions, the activator is merely recruiting proteins to the promoter. In bacteria, RNA polymerase is the only protein that needs to be recruited; this is not the case in eukaryotes. Indeed, in eukaryotes, a given activator might work in all three ways:

One component of thecomplex bears bromodomains and thus binds to acetylated nucleosomes better than to unacetylated nucleosomes. Thus, a gene bearing acetylated nucleosomes at its promoter will likely have a higher affinity for the transcriptional machinery than one with unacetylated nucleosomes.

HSP70 gene from Drosophila. This gene, activated by heat shock, is controlled by two activators GAGA binding factor and HSF,In response to heat shock, HSF binds to specific sites at the promoter and recruits a kinase, P-TEFb (positive transcription elongation factor). What is the proper mechanism of pausing and release of Pol II ?

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, transcribes its genes from a promoter controlled by P-TEFb (and SEC). Again, polymerase initiates transcription at that promoter, under the control of which activator?
