Question

Question 2 (1 point) Conserved sequence motifs are called consensus sequences. They show, for each position, which nucleotides are conserved and which are variable. Consider the following example DNA sequence: ACCG]NYR In this notation, "A" means that an "A" is always found in that position; [CG] stands for either Cor G in approximately equal frequency (where they are not both purines or pyrimidines), N represents any base; Y represents a pyrimidline, and R indicates a purine. Given the information above and the sequences from species provided, write a consensus sequence in the space provided (use the format shown above). Sequence Alignment of coding strand for a gene from 6 different species A GCT ATAAACGA TGCTAT AAA GAC TATTATAAAGGT A GCTATAAACGG TGCTATAAAG (GC

Explanation / Answer

Answer : The correct option is C (TATA - binding protein). This sequence corresponds to the promoter sequence found in the eukaryotic genes which are bound by RNA polymerase as awell as many transcription factors. This sequence if first recognised by TBP/TATA binding protein.
