Which statement about eukaryotic gene organization and regulation is correct?
A) There is only one promoter for each gene.
B) There is only one transcription start site (TSS) for each gene.
C) A gene may have more than one promoter and more than one transcription start site (TSS).
D) Transcription start sites (TSSs) are highly evolutionarily conserved.
E) Data shows there are more genes than promoters in the human genome.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A gene in eukaryotes can indeed have multiple promoters and transcription start sites (TSS), allowing for the regulation of gene expression in a complex and versatile manner. This enables the same gene to be expressed in different ways in different tissues or in response to different signals.
