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.
