(C) are produced by and released from the Golgi apparatus. (D) are enclosed by a phospholipid monolayer (instead of a bilayer). (E) mostly store cholesterol and phospholipids.

18. Which of the following methods provides the most sensitive and accurate way of measuring and comparing mRNA levels of a set of genes expressed at relatively low levels in two different tissues. (A) PCR (B) Ribosome profiling (C) ChIP-seq (D) DNA microarray analysis (E) RNA-seq

19. Epigenetics is most concerned with: (A) changes in a person's genotype resulting from environmental influences. (B) the expression of a particular gene as influenced by external inputs. (C) environmental influences on gene expression over experiential influences. (D) the heritability of genotypes that have been altered over multiple generations.

21. The steroid hormone glucocorticoid can enter cells and bind with glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to regulate gene expression. Which is incotrect? (A) GR is in the cytoplasm in the absence of glucocorticoid. (B) GR is a leucine-zipper-containing transcription factor. (C) Glucocorticoid-bound GR can form a homodimer to bind to GREs. (D) GR serves as a transcription activator or inhibitor depending on the gene context. (E) GR inhibits the expression of cytokine genes by tethering other transcription factors such as AP1 and NF-kB.

22. A diverse set of proteins with conserved RNA-binding domains associate with pre-mRNAs to assist RNA processing. Which is incorrect? (A) RRM (or RBD), KH motif and RGG box are conserved RNA-binding motifs. (B) Pre-mRNAs are associated with hnRNP proteins, contributing to splicing, polyadenylation and expott. (C) To identify hnRNP proteins, first high-dose UV irradiation causes covalent cross-links to form between RNA bases and associated protein, and are recovered by oligo-dT chromatography.
