Eukaryotes have multiple RNA polymerases, which are each specialized for the promoters of specific subsets of genes (e.g. mRNAs only), while prokaryotes have only one type of RNA polymerase – but use different sigma subunits to recognize promoters of specific subsets of their genes. 

In the gene diagram below, which region will correspond to the N-terminus of the resulting protein product?

Which type of mutagen has a structure similar to one of the DNA nucleotides and therefore can work its way into DNA, where it pairs with a nucleotide?

Is this statement True or False? Regulated gene expression allows bacteria to adapt their metabolism to match changes in the environment.

Is this statement True or False? All bacterial genes are subject to regulation. 

Intrinsic termination in prokaryotes occurs when the rho termination factor interacts with the terminator region in the DNA.

Is this statement True or False? All genes in a eukaryotic genome are transcribed at every stage of life.

In this diagram of the process of transcription, what is a main function of the protein labeled G?

Is this statement True or False? Regulated gene expression allows bacteria to adapt their metabolism to match changes in the environment.
