Fill in the blank- During eukaryotic transcription, the assembly of the general transcription factors begins with the binding of the factor________in a complex with the general transcription factor_________to DNA, causing a marked local distortion in the double helix. This factor binds at the DNA sequence called the________box, which is typically located 25 nucleotides upstream from the transcription start site. Once RNA polymerase II has been brought to the promoter DNA, it must be released to begin making transcripts. This release process is facilitated by the addition of phosphate groups to the tail of RNA polymerase by the factor_______. General transcription factor and RNA polymerase are not sufficient to efficiently initiate transcription in the cell and are affected by proteins bound thousands of nucleotides away from the promoter. Proteins that link distantly bound transcription regulators to RNA polymerase and the general transcription factors include the large complex of proteins called the _________. The packaging of DNA into chromatin also affects transcriptional initiation, and histone________ is an enzyme that can render the DNA less accessible to the general transcription factors.

Identify the effect(s) of specific population-genetic forces on genetic variation within and between populations over time. In each of the table cells, choose one of the options in the drop-down menu that appears.
| Genetic variation within a population | Genetic variation between multiple populations | |
| Mutation | [ Select ] ["increases", "decreases", "can either increase or decrease", "stays the same"] | [ Select ] ["increases", "decreases", "can either increase or decrease", "stays the same"] |
| Migration | [ Select ] ["increases", "decreases", "can either increase or decrease", "stays the same"] | [ Select ] ["increases", "decreases", "can either increase or decrease", "stays the same"] |
| Genetic drift | [ Select ] ["increases", "decreases", "can either increase or decrease", "stays the same"] | [ Select ] ["increases", "decreases", "can either increase or decrease", "stays the same"] |
| Natural selection | [ Select ] ["increases", "decreases", "can either increase or decrease", "stays the same"] | [ Select ] ["increases", "decreases", "can either increase or decrease", "stays the same"] |
In a large, randomly-mating population, the frequency of the allele (a) for sickle-cell hemoglobin is 0.028. The results of studies have shown that people with the following genotypes at the beta-chain locus produce the average numbers of offspring given. In the table below, indicate the relative fitness values for these three genotypes.
| Genotype | Mean offspring | Relative fitness |
| AA | 5 | [ Select ] ["0", "1", "0.83"] |
| Aa | 6 | [ Select ] ["0", "1", "0.83"] |
| aa | 0 | [ Select ] ["0", "1", "0.83"] |
What form of selection is acting on the sickle-cell allele? [ Select ] ["directional selection against the a allele", "directional selection against the A allele", "overdominance", "underdominance"]
Over time, we should expect genetic variation in this population to [ Select ] ["increase", "decrease", "stay the same"] .
