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.

A population of trout in a lake has significantly declined over the past year. The main source of food for the fish in this lake
andrew11 [14]

The decline in the overall population of trout and larger fish is because the Insect population has decreased.

<h3>What is a population?</h3>

A population is a group of organisms of the same species living in the same habitat.

Population of organisms is affected by;

  • availability of water
  • space
  • food and nutrients
  • predators
  • climate change

Since the population of trout is directly affected by the number of insect species, the decline in the overall population is because the Insect population has decreased.
