Heat shock element (HSE)is a response element found in the promoter region of genes.How is transcription of the HSE activated?
A)in response to cold
B)in response to elevated temperature
C)in response to sunlight
D)in response to darkness

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heat shock elements are activated in response to elevated temperatures. The binding of heat shock factors to the HSE leads to the transcription of heat shock proteins, which help protect cells from heat-induced damage. Cold temperatures, sunlight, and darkness do not activate HSE.
