Which of the following forms of Eukaryotic gene regulation requires the MOST investment of ENERGY to use? a: binding of a repressor protein to an mRNA, preventing ribosome attachment b: requirement of TF-II-D for proper transcription of a structural gene c: inactivation of a protein by phosphorylation (by protein kinase activity) d: dense heterochromatin formation in the region of a structural gene and its promoter e: inhibition of RNA Polymerase II activity by interaction with a silencer region/repressor protein complex f: removal of introns and splicing of exons before nuclear export d: removal of introns and splicing of exons before nuclear export

RNA interference is used to regulate gene expression in as many as 30% of human genes. We discussed siRNA combining with proteins to fulfill which two roles in gene regulation. Select up to two. A. Inhibit translational initiation B. RNA silencing by attracting histone methyltransferases C. mRNA degradation and cleavage via the slicer protein D. Slicer independent degradation
An unfertilized egg contains many mRNAs that should not be translated until fertilization occurs. Which of these regulatory strategies is most likely to control this process? a. histone methylation b. alternative splicing c. mRNA degradation d. blocking translation initiation e. histone acetylation
