Which of the following correctly describes eukaryotic transcriptional control?
       a. A transcription factor is a DNA molecule that helps RNA polymerase to bind to the enhancer of a specific gene.
       b. An enhancer is a protein that encourages gene expression by binding to the DNA.
       c. The promoter is the region of RNA where DNA polymerase will bind to begin transcription.
       d. The interaction of multiple transcription factors may be required in order to transcribe a gene.

    3. This is a schematic of a very simple pattern of gene expression. Yes means the protein is present and can bind the promoter. No means the protein is absent. Transcription factors are proteins that help regulate transcription by binding DNA Activators are transcription factors that help transcription. For example, they bend the promoter and make it accessible to RNA polymerase. Repressors are transcription factors that inhibit transcription. For example, they might bind the promoter and stop the RNA polymerase...
