Transcription factors bind to DNA enhancer regions to regulate gene expression. These proteins recognize specific DNA sequences and play a key role in activating or repressing the transcription of nearby genes. Enhancers can be located far away from the genes they regulate, and their binding by transcription factors helps to control when and to what extent a gene is expressed.

In eukaryotes the interaction of enhancer and promoter elements is brought closer by?

In eukaryotes, the interaction of enhancer and promoter elements is brought closer by the bending of DNA. Proteins called transcription factors bind to enhancer elements and recruit complexes that help bend and loop the DNA, bringing the enhancer and promoter regions into close proximity for efficient gene expression.


What region of the DNA does the giemsa stain dye?

Giemsa stain binds the regions with high content of adenine-thymine complex.


During protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells does the activator-enhancer complex the molocule of DNA so other transcription factors have better acces tothe bonding sites on the operator?

Yes. If I understand your question correctly (I cleaned up the wording slightly). Activators are proteins that bind to enhancer regions of DNA. This facilitates the binding of transcription factors and the RNA Polymerase to read the DNA of the gene.

What happen to lac repressor in E. coli when lactose is present?

E. coli binds with lactose which changes its conformation so that it no longer binds to DNA. This allows the lactose operon to be transcribed.

How is complementary base pairing different when pairing DNA to DNA than DNA to mRNA?

Complementary base pairing in DNA-DNA pairing involves adenine (A) bonding with thymine (T) and guanine (G) bonding with cytosine (C), following the standard A-T and G-C base pairs. In DNA-mRNA pairing, uracil (U) replaces thymine (T) in RNA, so adenine (A) in DNA pairs with uracil (U) in mRNA, while guanine (G) still pairs with cytosine (C) in RNA.
