The correct response is:

Positive transcription factor affinity has a greater influence because you cannot turn genes on without it.

While polymerase affinity is crucial for the transcription process, positive transcription factors play a key role in initiating transcription by binding to specific DNA sequences and facilitating the recruitment of RNA polymerase. Without these factors, the transcription of genes into mRNA cannot occur, and subsequently, proteins cannot be synthesized.
