The rocky upper layer of the solid earth is called the "lithosphere". This rocky part includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and also of the crust. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and of the asthenosphere which is another part of the upper portion of the mantle.

There are a lot of human activities that gives negative effects on the earth's ecosystem but I will mention only four: Burning of things such as garbages or plants and trees, dumping of garbages anywhere, chemical substance that are being made and produced, cutting down of trees for replacement of buildings and homes. The human activities increase the occurrence of species extinction by doing this, it eliminates and destroy the homes of the species that are supposed to be living on their natural habitat. But instead of them, living peacefully, by doing these activities, their home will be destroyed that can kill them-- which can lead to extinction.

Regulatory and basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to the promoter.A) True B) False
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In eukaryotes apart from RNA polymerase, the transcription of genes requires many different proteins called transcription factors. These transcription factors are important to initiate and regulate transcription.

There are two types of transcription factors regulatory and basal transcription factors. Basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to a gene promoter and regulatory transcription factor regulates transcription by binding to some regulatory sequences for example enhancers and silencers.  

Therefore only basal transcription factor binds to the promoter for regulating transcription. Therefore the statement is false.
