Question

In the cell, enhancer sequence functions are limited in their range of action by the formation of ___________ that hold specific genes and enhancers in close proximity.

Answer 1

Answer:

loops

Explanation:

An enhancer is a region in the DNA containing about 50-1500 base pairs that can be bound to proteins to increase the likelihood of transcription of a certain gene.

In the cell, the enhancer functions are limited by the formation of loops that hold specific genes and enhancers in close proximity.

By doing so there will be structural distortion of the DNA which is important for limiting enhancer functions.
