ultimately, a functional hexokinase protein is produced (bottom).
Consider: What must the hexokinase gene contain, in order for its transcription to och
Q2.1. Which of the following must be present in the hexokinase gene?
Check all that apply:
A region that codes for the hexokinase protein
An area that indicates where to start transcription
An area that indicates where to end transcription
A location on the DNA to bind sugar and convert its energy to ATP
Rerecali Prediction
Note: While you'll be looking at hexokinase as an example in the next few pages, realize that the principles transcription are general and would apply to all genes across all organisms.
