EIF4E basal element is a lecture and an article as part of the gene transcription series.

Eimeria oocysts vary in size, with E. maxima being the largest (about 20 x 30 microns) and E. mitis the smallest (about 14 x 16 microns). Credit: USDA ARS.

You are free to take this quiz based on the EIF4E basal element at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, External links, and in the {{gene project}} template. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

Suggestion: Have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

1 Yes or No, The EIF4E basal element, also eIF4E, (4EBE) is a basal promoter element for the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E.

Yes
No

2 The portion of a promoter in which an EIF4E basal element is likely to be found is which of the following?

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

3 Yes or No, Interactions between 4EBE and upstream activator sites are position, distance, and sequence dependent.

Yes
No

4 Several promoter elements have been previously identified in eukaryotes, but those cannot account for transcription from most RNA polymerase II-transcribed

TRUE
FALSE

located between nucleotides -8 and +2 relative to the transcriptional start site (+1)
G/A/T-G/C+1-G-T/C-G-G-G/A-A-G/C
in eukaryotes
