Gene transcriptions/Elements/GAACs/Quiz

GAAC elements is a lecture as part of the gene transcription series.

You are free to take this quiz based on the GAAC elements 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
{The portion of a promoter in which a GAAC 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="{}"}

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

{Which of the following is not a transcriptional characteristic of GAAC 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
 * type="[]"}

{Complete the text: The GAAC element is able to { direct (i) } a new { transcription (i) } start { site (i) } 2-7 bases downstream of { itself (i) }, independent of TATA and Inr regions.
 * 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 GAAC elements? - transcription of A1BG - directs activator-dependent but TFIID-independent transcription - TATA box-less promoters - initiator element - mediator dependence + core promoter
 * type="[]"}

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

{Yes or No, There are no GAAC elements on the human DNA template (negative) strand in the negative direction from ZSCAN22 to A1BG. + No - Yes
 * type=""}

{Yes or No, There are no inverse GAAC elements on the human DNA template (negative) strand in the positive direction from ZNF497 to A1BG. - No + Yes
 * type=""}

Hypotheses

 * 1) A1BG is not transcribed by a GAAC element.
