Indicate whether the following statements about eukaryotic transcription factors (TF) are true or false Multiple transcription factor binding sites can be present in a single gene

These mutations are likely to have the consequences described Repair of a double-strand break by non-homologous end joining results in a small deletion  

We discussed a number of different enzymes that function in DNA replication.  For each function, match the name of the enzyme that performs the function.

During splicing of precursor mRNAs in mammalian cells, the first RNA cleavage step involves:

Resting B cells are stimulated to become plasma cells and secrete antibodies by

You wish to amplify the above DNA sequence in a PCR reaction. For the following primers, indicate True if it could be able to successfully amplify the sequence above (with an appropriate second primer), and False if it would not amplify the indicated sequence. 5′ AGTCGGTAACTT 3′

Which of the following plays an important role in several DNA repair mechanisms?

Self-splicing introns

For each of the following polymerases, state what it uses as a primer. Choose from the terms below. E. coli DNA polymerase III – uses [1] as primer Telomerase – uses [2] as primer Reverse transcriptase – uses [3] as primer   Choose from those terms:  DNA, RNA, tRNA, mRNA You can use one term more than once.  Please watch your spelling!

The following enzymes are actually RNA molecules with catalytic (enzymatic) activity: Endonuclease RNase P (tRNA processing)
