Gene transcriptions/Factors/Quiz



Transcription factors is a lecture and an article as part of the gene transcription series.

You are free to take this quiz based on transcription factors 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, A transcription factor is a protein that binds to specific DNA sequences to control the flow (or transcription) of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA). + Yes - No
 * type=""}

{True or False, A dominant group associated with transcription factors differs from a control group in that it rules the treatment of the control group. + TRUE - FALSE
 * 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, A branch of biology that deals with the transmission and variation of inherited characteristics, in particular chromosomes and DNA is called genetics. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

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

{Which of the following is not a transcriptional characteristic of transcription factors? + 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="[]"}

{Yes or No, Once the DNA double helix and its associated epigenome have been melted so that the template strand is available for binding, a transcription factor binds to a specific nucleotide sequence to biochemically influence gene transcription. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

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

{Yes or No, A coactivator is a protein that works with transcription factors to increase the rate of gene transcription. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

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

{Evidence that demonstrates that a model or idea versus a control group is feasible with respect to transcription factors is called a { proof of concept (i) }.
 * type="{}"}

{True or False, A general transcription factor is a special kind of transcription factor. + TRUE - FALSE
 * type=""}

Hypotheses

 * 1) Transcription factors are not involved in the transcription of A1BG.
