The eve stripe 2 enhancer can be defined as multiple __________ sites for at least four __________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The eve stripe 2 enhancer is a cis-acting element, meaning it is located on the same DNA molecule as the gene it regulates. It contains multiple binding sites for transcription factors, which are proteins that bind to DNA and regulate gene expression. Therefore, choice B, which states that the enhancer is cis-binding and interacts with transcription factor proteins, is the best choice. The other choices are not accurate because they either refer to trans-binding (which means binding to a DNA molecule different from the one that contains the enhancer) or to interactions with other types of genetic elements (such as insulator genes or gene promoters) that are not involved in enhancer function.
