Many molecules, including transcription factors, work together to transcribe genes and translate the information taken from the
genes into proteins.
What is a transcription factor?
a protein, such as RNA polymerase, that transcribes a specific DNA sequence
a nucleotide sequence that signals a ribosome to start protein translation
a protein that binds to a specific DNA sequence to regulate transcription
a protein that binds to a specific mRNA to prevent it from being translated
a nucleotide that binds to a specific DNA sequence to repress translation
