Imagine that you are studying the control of β-globin gene expression in immature red blood cells (mature red blood cells contai

n β-globin protein but lack a nucleus and therefore the β-globin gene). If you deleted a sequence of DNA outside the protein-coding region of the β-globin gene and found that this increased the rate of transcription, the deleted sequence likely functions as a(n) _____.silencerenhancerpromoterpromoter-proximal elementany of the above

Answer:

Silencer

Explanation:

Silencers are the position and orientation free sequences that are present outside the protein-coding sequence of a gene. Silencers serve as a binding site for some transcriptional regulatory proteins that tend to inhibit gene expression. Binding of these "repressor" proteins to the silencers inhibits the gene expression.

The deletion of silencers from DNA would increase the rate of the gene expression as the inhibitory transcription regulatory proteins do not have binding sites to inhibit the gene expression. Therefore, the deletion of silencer sequences of the beta-globin gene would have caused the increased rate of its expression.

<span>The correct answer is B. crepuscular activity. Crepuscular refers to animals and birds that are active at night, during twilight. So, these little birds don't usually travel large distances during the day, first of all, because they can't due to their small wings and plump bodies, and second of all, in order to avoid getting eating by a larger bird or animal. So they are usually nocturnal birds that live during the night.</span>
