What are the three mechanisms by which transcription factors regulate eukaryotic gene expression

1 answer:

8 0

1. They act as activators of transcription. This is through increasing the affinity of the RNA polymerase on the promoter

2. They could act as repressors. This way, when they bind to their active sites, they repress the binding of the RNA polymerase on the promoter

3. Transcription factors at one site could affect transcription of genes on another site on the DNA. The flexibility of the DNA (by forming loops) allows for this phenomenon.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

c) Both are functions of blood, that is, to carry oxygen to the cells and also remove wastes from the body.

Explanation:

Blood is a form of connective tissue and is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and blood plasma. The red blood cells contains a metallo-protein structure known as hemoglobin. This hemoglobin binds to the oxygen and carry them to the cells and the tissues for proper functioning of them. The waste products like carbon dioxide is carried by the blood from the body tissues to expel it out from the body.
