General transcription factors is a lecture and an article as part of the gene transcription series.

You are free to take this quiz based on general transcription factors at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, External links, and in the {{gene project}} template. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

Suggestion: Have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

Enjoy learning by doing!

Quiz

[edit | edit source]

  

1 Yes or No, General transcription factors (GTFs) are also known as basal transcription factors.

No
Yes

2 Several promoter elements have been previously identified in eukaryotes, but those cannot account for transcription from most RNA polymerase II-transcribed

3 Yes or No, GTFs, RNA polymerases, and the mediator multiple protein complexes constitute the basic transcriptional apparatus.

No
Yes

4 True or False, The general transcription factor is located in the distal promoter.

TRUE
FALSE

5 Which of the following is not a transcriptional characteristic of the general transcription factor?

located between nucleotides -8 and +2 relative to the transcriptional start site (+1)
G/A/T-G/C+1-G-T/C-G-G-G/A-A-G/C
in eukaryotes
TATA-less genes
a consensus sequence

6 Yes or No, DNA is a double helix of interlinked nucleotides surrounded by an epigenome.

No
Yes

7 Which of the following are phenomena associated with the general transcription factor?

transcription of A1BG
directs activator-dependent but TFIID-independent transcription
TATA box-less promoters
initiator element
mediator dependence
core promoter

8 True or False, The general transcription factor is found in the promoter regions of about 1% of human genes.

TRUE
FALSE

9 Yes or No, Something like a protein that actively contributes to the production of a result is called a factor.

No
Yes

10 True or False, A dominant group associated with the general transcription factors differs from a control group in that it rules the treatment of the control group.

TRUE
FALSE
