In messenger RNA, the protein-coding sequence is present in:
Question options:
exons.
introns.
exons and the poly(A) sequence.
introns and the poly(A) sequence. - exons.
Which process produces multiple proteins from the same primary transcript in the same
cell?
Question options:
chromatin remodeling
histone modification
alternative splicing
combinatorial control - alternative splicing
Alternative splicing allows for:
Question options:
two or more different proteins to be made from a single processed mRNA.
different polypeptides to be made from a single gene.
multiple genes to be used to code for a single polypeptide chain.
enhanced recognition of an mRNA by a ribosome.
increased stability of a mature mRNA. - different polypeptides to be made from a single
gene.

RNA splicing provides an opportunity for regulating gene expression because:
Question options:
the same exons may be spliced together in different sequences to produce different
proteins from the same primary transcript.
methylation of the poly(A) tail controls how rapidly the primary transcript can be broken up
and spliced back together again.
the same introns may be spliced together in different sequences to produce different
proteins from the same primary transcript.
methylation of spliceosomes controls how rapidly primary transcripts are processed and
sent to the cytoplasm. - the same exons may be spliced together in different sequences to
produce different proteins from the same primary transcript.
In both prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene expression,
Question options:
Introns are removed from genes before translation
RNA must be transported out of the nucleus for translation
One type of RNA corresponds to only one type of protein
Transcription requires RNA polymerase binding to promoter regions - Transcription
requires RNA polymerase binding to promoter regions
In prokaryotes: (Select all correct answers.)
Question options:
translation of an mRNA cannot begin until transcription is completed.
the primary RNA transcript needs a "cap" at the 5' end for the initiation of translation.
the translation of mRNA can begin even before transcription is completed.
the DNA is packaged into nucleoid. - the translation of mRNA can begin even before
transcription is completed.
the DNA is packaged into nucleoid.
In prokaryotes, the AUG codon that starts translation is:
Question options:
the AUG nearest the 5' cap on the mRNA.
adjacent to the 5' cap on the mRNA.

at the 5' end of the mRNA.
adjacent to a Shine-Dalgarno sequence. - adjacent to a Shine-Dalgarno sequence.
What occurs in positive transcriptional regulation to result in transcription? (Hint: Is there a
difference between a promoter and the activator binding site? See text book and notes if you
are not sure.)
Question options:
The activator protein binds to the activator binding site
The repressor protein binds to the activator binding site
The repressor protein binds to the promoter region
The activator protein binds to the promoter region - The activator protein binds to the
activator binding site
When a group of functionally related genes located next to one another along the bacterial
DNA is transcribed as a single molecule of mRNA, that mRNA is said to be:
Question options:
polyproteinacious.
polycistronic.
polymeric.
polynomial.
polytranslational. - polycistronic.
In an operon, different genes have _____ start codon and _____ stop codon.
Question options:
the same; the same
the same; their own
their own; their own
their own; the same - their own; their own
An operon is a: (Hint: The term 'structural gene' means a gene that encodes a protein. It is
discussed in the textbook.)
Question options:
region of DNA, found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, that controls gene expression.

region of DNA consisting of the promoter, the operator, and coding sequences for structural
proteins.
constitutively expressed gene encoding a repressor protein, such as lacI.
region of DNA that consists of the promoter and operator sequences, but excludes the
structural genes which are regulated by these sequences.
single molecule of RNA encoding more than one protein in prokaryotes. - region of DNA
consisting of the promoter, the operator, and coding sequences for structural proteins.
A region of prokaryotic DNA consisting of an operator, promoter, and coding sequence for
several functionally related genes is called a(n):
Question options:
opera.
closed reading frame.
organized genomic region.
operation.
operon. - operon.
A specific sequence of DNA that a prokaryotic repressor can bind to is called an:
Question options:
Poly(A) tail
Operator
Promoter
TATA box - Operator
The binding of a regulatory molecule to an operon blocks the transcription process. Which of
the following statements is correct?
Question options:
This molecule functions as a repressor
This molecule functions as an activator
This molecule binds to the promoter region
This is an example of positive regulation - This molecule functions as a repressor
Question 16, 5 in class 26 - look at d2l

Which of the following are constitutively (always) expressed in prokaryotic cells which have
the lac operon?
Question options:

the gene for the beta-galactosidase enzyme
the gene for the lactose transporter
the lacI gene, which encodes the repressor protein - the lacI gene, which encodes the
repressor protein
the gene for RNA polymerase
Which statement about LacI and the lac operon is correct? (Hint: Are the promoter and
operator the same?)
Question options:
LacI is active and binds to the lac operator when lactose is present
The lac operon transcription is reduced when LacI binds to DNA
LacI can bind to the promoter region of the lac operon
LacI is the only protein involved in the regulation of the lac operon - The lac operon
transcription is reduced when LacI binds to DNA

Question options:
Low levels of lactose
Low levels of cAMP
Low levels of glucose
LacI binding to the operator - Low levels of glucose
Bacteria with a mutation eliminating the function of the lacZ gene (lacZ -):
(Hint: See textbook, if you are not sure what lacZ means.)
Question options:
can more efficiently utilize lactose for energy
