Which Statement Is FALSE Regarding Transcription at RNA Polymerase II

question 55

Multiple Choice

Which statement is FALSE regarding transcription at RNA polymerase II promoters?

• A) Transcription requires binding of TBP to the -10 promoter element.
• B) TFIIB binds TBP and recruits TFIIF that directs RNA polymerase II to the promoter.
• C) TFIIH unwinds the DNA and phosphorylates the CTD of RNA polymerase II.
• D) TFIIH subunits contribute to a nucleotide-excision repair process.
• E) During the elongation phase, elongation factors suppress RNA polymerase II pausing and coordinate protein-protein interactions.

Definitions:

Slow Pathway

A neurological pathway that processes stimuli at a slower pace, often involving more complex processing like emotion and decision-making.

Unmyelinated Fibers

Nerve fibers that lack a myelin sheath, resulting in slower transmission of nerve impulses compared to myelinated fibers.

Intrinsic Rewards

Personal satisfaction and enjoyment derived from engaging in an activity, not contingent upon external rewards or recognition.

Extrinsic Rewards

Rewards given by external factors, such as money or praise, which motivate behavior not inherently rewarding.
