Gene transcriptions/Boxes/CAATs/Quiz

CAAT box is a lecture as part of the gene transcription series.

You are free to take this quiz based on the CAAT box 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, In the direction of transcription on the template strand, the consensus sequence for a CAAT box is 3'-GGCCAATCT-5'. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

{The portion of the promoter in which a CAAT box is likely to be found is which of the following? + core promoter + proximal promoter - downstream promoter - distal promoter - enhancer
 * type="[]"}

{Yes or No, A CCAAT box (also sometimes abbreviated a CAAT box or CAT box) is a distinct pattern of nucleotides along the template strand of DNA in eukaryotes. + Yes - No
 * 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="{}"}

{True or False, Some CAAT boxes are located in the distal promoter. - TRUE + FALSE
 * type=""}

{Which of the following is not a transcriptional characteristic of CAAT boxes? + 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
 * type="[]"}

{Complete the text: A { CAAT (i) }box when present occur upstream by { 75-80 (i) } bases (nucleotides) to the { transcription (i) } start site.
 * 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 CAAT boxes? - transcription of A1BG - directs activator-dependent but TFIID-independent transcription - TATA box-less promoters - initiator element + mediator dependence - distal promoter
 * type="[]"}

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

Hypotheses

 * 1) A1BG is not transcribed by any CAAT box.
