Describe the manner in which activators and repressors influence the rate of transcription initiation. How might chromatin structure be involved in such regulation?

Video transcript

Everyone. Let's take a look at this question. Together. Enhancers and promoters are both regulatory elements that control the transcription of genes enhancers can be found at what? So what do we know about enhancers? Well, we know that enhancers increase the rate of transcription and they do so by binding to these transcription factors, which are specific proteins that interact with RN A polymerase to increase that rate. And so they can be located either upstream downstream or even a great distances from the gene. And so knowing this and looking at our answer choices, we could see that enhancers can be found at upstream downstream or far away. So that means that answer choice D all the above is the correct answer because we know that these enhancers which increase the rate of transcription by binding to those transcription factors, which are those specific proteins that interact with the RN A polymerase to increase that rate of transcription are located either upstream downstream or at great distances from that gene. So answer choice D, all the above is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
