Which of the Following is True Regarding Hormone Response Elements

Question

Which of the following is true regarding hormone response elements?
A) The more HREs present, the more vigorous transcription.
B) The fewer HREs present, the more vigorous transcription.
C) The HREs are specific sequences present in the tRNA molecule.
D) The HREs are situated far away from the genes they regulate.
E) The HREs are part of post-transcriptional control mechanisms.

Accepted Answer

Hormone response elements (HREs) are specific nucleotide sequences in DNA that bind to specific hormone receptors, leading to changes in gene expression. The more HREs present in a gene, the more binding sites for hormone receptors and the more vigorous the transcriptional response.
