1 Yes or No, A stable preinitiation complex can form in vitro on TATA-dependent core promoters by association of the basal factors in the following order: TFIID/TFIIA, TFIIB, RNA polymerase II/TFIIF, TFIIE, and then TFIIH.

Yes
No

dispersed promoter
proximal promoter
downstream promoter
distal promoter
enhancer
focused promoter
core promoter

3 Yes or No, The two complementary strands of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) are usually differentiated as the "sense" strand and the "antisense" strand.

Yes
