Identify the statements that are features of a promoter.


 Identify the statements that are features of a promoter.


 In eukaryotes, the promoter is recognized by a sigma factor subunit, which must bind to the promoter before forming the preinitiation complex.

 In eukaryotes, the promoter often contains a TATA box, which is where the TATA-binding protein binds.

 In eukaryotes, the promoter attracts the small and large ribosomal subunits with the help of initiation factors.

 In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the promoter is located in the 5' direction, upstream from the transcription start site.

 In prokaryotes, the promoter contains a -35 and - 10 region upstream of the transcription start site.

In eukaryotes, the promoter often contain a TATA box, which is where the TATA binding protein binds

EXPLANATION:

Transcription preinitiation complex is a large complex of proteins that is necessary for the transcription of protein-coding genes in eukaryotes.

It attaches to the promoter of the DNA (TATA box) and helps position the RNA polymerase II to the gene transcription start sites, denatures the DNA, and then starts transcription.

Your band hires a promoter to promote its shows. A good promoter will result in a sold-out show 90% of the time. A promoter who isn’t good will result in a sold-out show 55% of the time. You initially figure that there is a 70% chance that this promoter is good. Your first show sells out, then the next shows fails to sell out. What is the new probability that the promoter is good? Round your answer to the nearest...
