Binding of the TBP (TATA-binding protein) to a promoter requires the presence of a TATA box.

Transcriptional control in which a repressor protein prevents a gene from being expressed is ___________ control.  

The presence of a pyrimidine dimer may cause it to be bypassed during replication, leaving a gap in the new strand that may then be repaired by a recombination-repair system.

mRNA is generally the most abundant type of RNA in a eukaryotic cell.

Initially, the bacterial RNA polymerase binds nonspecifically to chromosomal DNA, then moves to a promoter.

In general, termination of transcription in bacteria:

The stringent response of bacteria is triggered by:

The catalytic center of the bacterial RNA polymerase includes the subunit(s):

A rut site in an mRNA allows binding of:

50% of pulmonary embolus patients develop a pleural effusion due to what two complications? (2 points)
