Question

A gene is bound with a positive transcription factor. What effect does this have on the gene? (Hint: Is this going from DNA to mRNA, or mRNA to DNA polymerase?)(1 point)

Answer 1

This turns the gene on, allowing for transcription.

A positive transcription factor promotes recruitment/activation of RNA polymerase, increasing production of mRNA from the DNA.
