Transcriptional question! - (Jan/27/2006 )

What's the difference between basal transcription and transcriptional induction? biggrin.gif blink.gif blink.gif blink.gif

I was able to find answers for both on www.google.com in only a few moments

they will also be in any basic textbook

LODYH

but I will give you a hint: if you know what transcription is, think about the difference between a 'baseline' level and an 'induced' level and what might cause that difference?

OH, and 'please' and 'thank you' go a long ways here...

you have the answer inn your own question.... basal means basal and induced means that level is higher. Factors and proteins are required as they recognize sequences in DNA (enhancer sequences) end helps to recruit RNA polymerases.
