Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The factor that "turns on" genes to promote the production of mRNA is called a transcriptional activator. This factor binds to the DNA sequence, which promotes the recruitment of RNA polymerase and subsequent transcription of mRNA. Myonuclei are multiple nuclei found in muscle cells, and mRNA transducer and DNA transcriber are not accurate terms for this process.
