What are the common promoter elements found in eukaryotic genes, and how are they different from enhancer elements?

7 0

Answer:

In eukaryotic cells you find core and proximal promoters.

Promotors are specific DNA sequences where transcription factors (proteins) and RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription. Promotors are located upstream the coding sequence

Core promoters are where RNA polymersae binds and proximal promoters are where transcription factors bind.

Enhancer elements are DNA sequences where transcription factors (proteins) bind to increase the rate of expresion of an specific gene. Enhancers can be located either upstream,  downstream or thousands of nucleotids away  from the of the coding region.

Explanation:

Promoters and enhancer are key elements for controling gene regulation. Transcription begins when chromatin rearranges from a condensed state to a accesible state, this allow to transcrition factors and RNA polymerase to  bind specif DNA sequences (promotors).  Proteins bind to enhancers , this complex develops a DNA loop, so that the protein that is bound to the enhancer interacts with the RNA polymersase. When this interaction is made, the activity of the RNA polymerase is increased.

What are three lines of evidence thst support the theory of evolution
pav-90 [236]
According to kagmi on yahoo these are three lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution.

The fossil record shows the existence of billions of extinct species. It also shows a clear progression from one species to the next; there are many "transitional fossils," such as the archeoptryx (probably spelled that wrong, lol) which is clearly an intermediate in the evolution of dinosaurs into birds. 

<span>Biogeography shows the distribution of species, providing further support that different species can and do evolve from common ancestors. Australia has many species of marsupials not found on other continents, for example; this implies that these species may have shared a common ancestor which lived on Australia when it was separated from the other continents by continental drift. </span>

<span>Molecular biology allows us to analyze genes and proteins down to the very molecules that make them up. This reveals many similarities and differences between organisms not readily apparent to the naked eye. We can see, for example, that humans share the vast majority of their DNA with all mammals; slightly less with reptiles; slightly less with amphibians, and so on. We find that species' DNA sequences match up well with the fossil record in terms of how closely related the species are. </span>
