A. Draw a typical bacterialgene. Be sure to includeand labelthe promoter, transcription start site, transcription terminator,coding region, and untranslated regions. Below the gene draw a full-length mRNA transcript of the gene. On the mRNA, label the 5’ & 3’ ends, the coding region, and the UTRs.
B. Draw a typical eukaryotic gene. Be sure to includeand labelthe core promoter, some proximal promoterelements, one enhancer,transcription start site, two introns, poly(A) addition signal, coding region, and untranslated regions. Below the gene draw a full-length primary transcript of the gene with the 5’ and 3’ ends labeled, and below that draw the final mature mRNAwith the ends and coding sequence labeled. Be sure it is clear which parts of the gene are represented in the primary transcript and the mRNA.
C. Onthe two gene drawings above, indicate which trans-acting factors (=proteins) bind to the cis-acting elements (=DNA sequences) that you included in your drawing. Where appropriate, it is sufficient to give the name of a type of protein rather than a specific protein.
