Question

A student is studying the following model of DNA. 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) Responses How do these non-coding regions interact with DNA polymerase during replication? How do these non-coding regions interact with DNA polymerase during replication? What are the sequences of these non-coding regions, and how do they compare to known repressors? 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 are these non-coding regions transcribed into mRNA Do these non-coding regions affect the structure of the DNA double helix?

Answer 1

The most relevant question for the student to ask in order to further understand the role of these non-coding regions in gene regulation is:

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

This question addresses the specific sequences of the non-coding regions, which could provide insights into how they may interact with repressors and potentially influence gene regulation. Understanding the sequences can help clarify their functional role in the regulatory mechanism.
