The functioning of enhancers is an example of ________.
A) a eukaryotic equivalent of prokaryotic promoter functioning
B) transcriptional control of gene expression
C) the stimulation of translation by initiation factors
D) post-translational control that activates certain proteins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enhancers are DNA sequences that increase the rate of transcription of genes, representing a mechanism of transcriptional control of gene expression in eukaryotes. They do not directly participate in translation or post-translational processes, nor are they equivalent to prokaryotic promoters in function.
