Draft:Epigenetics/Quiz

Epigenetics is a lecture as part of the gene transcription series.

You are free to take this quiz based on the epigenetics at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, External links, and in the template. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

Suggestion: Have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

Enjoy learning by doing!

Quiz
{Yes or No, Epigenetics is the study of genome or epigenome changes resulting from external rather than genetic influences. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

{The portion of a promoter in which an epigenetics element is likely to be found is which of the following? + dispersed promoter + proximal promoter + downstream promoter + distal promoter + enhancer + focused promoter + core promoter
 * type="[]"}

{Several promoter elements have been previously identified in eukaryotes, but those cannot account for transcription from most RNA polymerase II-transcribed { genes|gene (i) }
 * type="{}"}

{Yes or No, Inside each eukaryote nucleus is genetic material (DNA) surrounded by protective and regulatory proteins. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

{True or False, Some epigenetics elements are located in the dispersed promoter. + TRUE - FALSE
 * type=""}

{Which of the following is not a transcriptional characteristic of epigenetics elements? - located between nucleotides -8 and +2 relative to the transcriptional start site (+1) - G/A/T-G/C+1-G-T/C-G-G-G/A-A-G/C - in eukaryotes - TATA-less genes - a consensus sequence + triphosphate
 * type="[]"}

{Complete the text: Genetics elements involve the { expression (i) }, transmission, and { variation (i) } of inherited characteristics.
 * type="{}"}

{Complete the text: Match up the type of promoter or promoter element with each of the possibilities below: TATA box - A initiator element - B enhancers and inhibitors - C downstream elements - D General transcription factor II D - E ATA box - F downstream core promoter { D (i) }. includes the transcription start site { B (i) }. proximal promoter { F (i) }. distal promoter { C (i) }. core promoter { E (i) } usually 25 nucleotides upstream { A (i) }.
 * type="{}"}

{Which of the following are phenomena associated with epigenetics elements? + transcription of A1BG + directing activator-dependent but TFIID-independent transcription + TATA box-less promoters + initiator element + mediator dependence + core promoter
 * type="[]"}

{Yes or No, There are nearly 50,000 acetylated sites, punctate sites of modified histones, in the human genome that correlate with active transcription start sites and CpG islands and tend to cluster within gene-rich loci. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

{True or False, Epigenetics elements are found in the promoter regions of at least 1% of human genes. + TRUE - FALSE
 * type=""}

Hypotheses

 * 1) A1BG is a gene unique to mammals.
