Treatment of fragmented DNA with a particular transcription factor attached at a number of sites with antibodies against that transcription factor will cause _________.
A)precipitation of DNA fragments bound to that transcription factor
B)solubilization of DNA fragments bound to that transcription factor
C)hydrolysis of DNA fragments bound to that transcription factor
D)hydrolysis of DNA fragments that remain unbound by that transcription factor
E)precipitation of DNA fragments not bound to that transcription factor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The antibodies against the transcription factor will bind to the factor, forming an antibody-transcription factor complex. When applied to fragmented DNA, this complex will bind to the transcription factor sites on the DNA, causing the DNA fragments bound to the transcription factor to precipitate out of the solution.
