Although gene expression in eukaryotes can take place at multiple levels. The most common level of gene expression would be:
 
1.  transcriptional level (formation of the primary transcript)
2. processing level (regulation of splicing)
3. transport of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
4. translational level

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In a transcription unit, the activity of RNA polymerase at a given promoter is in turn regulated by interaction with accessory proteins. 
Reason (R): These regulatory proteins can act both positively (activators) and negatively (repressors). 
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are false.
3. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. (A) is true but (R) is false.

The goals of the Human Genome Project include all the following except:
 
1. Identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA and determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA.
2. Store the information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, and transfer related technologies to other sectors, such as industries.
3. Address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.
4. Develop technology to enable the introduction of genes into humans to manipulate their phenotypes and allow humans to demand a tailor-made gene composition for themselves.
