Non-coding Regions
The student learns that some of the non-coding regions have a high concentration of repressors bound to them.
Which question should the student ask to further understand the role of these non-coding regions in gene regulation?
(1 point)
O What are the sequences of these non-coding regions, and how do they compare to known repressors?
How are these non-coding regions transcribed into mRNA
How do these non-coding regions interact with DNA polymerase during replication?
Do these non-coding regions affect the structure of the DNA double helix?

"What are the sequences of these non-coding regions, and how do they compare to known repressor (binding) sites?"
Why: identifying sequence motifs in non-coding regions and comparing them to known transcriptional repressor binding sites (or other regulatory elements like silencers) will show whether those regions can recruit repressors and thus control transcription. The other questions are less directly relevant to repressor-mediated gene regulation.
