question 24

Multiple Choice

What must eukaryotes do to initiate transcription of a gene?

• A) Recruit general transcription factors to produce an open complex and then recruit RNA Polymerase.
• B) Bind RNA Polymerase to displace histone proteins that binding DNA in the promoter region.
• C) Bind transcription factors from enhancer sequences to the RNA Polymerase.
• D) Recruit the transcription factors and RNA Polymerase that compose the pre- initiation complex.
• E) Open the DNA template and then bind RNA Polymerase at the transcriptional initiation site.

Definitions:

Independent Samples

Samples in which the sample values of one group do not depend on the values of another, often used in hypothesis testing to compare two groups.

Normal Populations

Populations that follow a normal distribution, characterized by its bell-shaped curve, where the mean, median, and mode are all equal.

Equal Variances

Assuming that two or more populations have the same variance, often an assumption in statistical tests comparing populations.

Sample Variances

Sample variances refer to the measurement of the variance within a sample from a population, providing an estimate of the population variance.
