Ch. 17+18 - Transcriptional Regulation in Eukaryotes

Chapter 17, Problem 12

Enhancers can influence the transcription of genes far away on the same chromosome. How are the effects of enhancers restricted so that they do not exert inappropriate transcriptional activation of non-target genes?

Video transcript

Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question together, enhancers are regions of D. N. A. That work by what? So we know that enhancers bind two Specific proteins called transcription factors, which interact with R. N. A. Memories to increase the rate of transcription. And since they work to increase the rate of transcription, that means that answer, Choice C. Is the correct answer because enhancers are regions of DNA that work by increasing the transcription of genes by binding to those transcription factors which interact with RNA polymerase to increase the rate of transcription. So answer Choice C. Is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
