If DNA Were Inflexible, Which of the Following Would Not

Question

If DNA were inflexible, which of the following would not function?
A) enhancers
B) promoters
C) the TATA- binding protein
D) basal transcription factors
E) promoter- proximal elements

Accepted Answer

Enhancers rely on the flexibility of DNA to bend and interact with transcription factors, allowing for accurate gene expression. If DNA were inflexible, enhancers would not be able to interact properly with transcription factors, ultimately hindering gene expression.
