Question

Why do eukaryotes require transcription factors?

Answer 1

Transcription:

1. Transcription is the process of converting a segment of DNA into RNA.
2. Transcription factors are the specific proteins that help in turning “on” and “off” a gene.
3. Activators boost transcription and repressors repress transcription.
4. The enzyme RNA polymerase forms new RNA from a DNA template.
5. In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase first associates with the promoter region with the help of transcription factors.
