A student is studying the following model of DNA.

Question

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?

Do these non-coding regions affect the structure of the DNA double helix?
Do these non-coding regions affect the structure of the DNA double helix?

How are these non-coding regions transcribed into mRNA
How are these non-coding regions transcribed into mRNA

What are the sequences of these non-coding regions, and how do they compare to known repressors?

Answer 1

The most relevant question to further understand the role of the non-coding regions in gene regulation would be:

What are the sequences of these non-coding regions, and how do they compare to known repressors?

This question aims to investigate the specific sequences of these regions, which can provide insights into how they may function in gene regulation, potentially binding to repressors or influencing the expression of nearby genes.
