Dr. Besson has invented a drug that she believes will be an effective treatment for migraines. If the drug is truly safe and eff

ective, she may become quite rich, so she has a strong financial incentive to conduct research that proves that the drug is safe and effective even if it isn't. What aspects of the scientific process will tend to decrease the likelihood that she will publish low-quality research that mistakenly concludes that the drug is safe and effective?

Answer:

statistical hypothesis testing

Explanation:

The  new drug must be evaluated by statistical tests in order to  compare this it with a control (i.e. a placebo).  This comparison must be statistically significant to accept the hypothesis that the drug is effective. The statistical significance in these tests is very important since it is the only way to accept a hypothesis with confidence that it is true. If Dr. Besson doesn't get that, their drug will hardly be released .

On the other hand, proving that the drug is safe (i.e no harmful side effects) implies more research and is more difficult to prove.

True or false? Regulatory and basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to the promoter.
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Transcription factors are molecules (usually proteins) that bind to DNA and regulate the transcription of the gene. So, they are gene expression regulators.

General or basal transcription factors are important for the initiation of transcription. Some of them don't bind to the DNA, but interact with RNA polymerase. Basal transcription factors are part of the transcription preinitiation complex . The whole complex binds to promoter.

Other regulatory factors such as activators and repressors bind to specific DNA sequencies. Activators bind to enhaceres in order to increase gene expression (turn on), while repressors bind to silencers and negatively regulate transcription (turn off).
