Evaluate responses using AI:
OFF
Answer explanation
A transcription factor is a protein that controls gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences, called promoter regions, to either initiate or inhibit the transcription of a gene into messenger RNA (mRNA). These proteins act as regulators, with activators promoting gene expression and repressors inhibiting it, allowing cells to respond to environmental cues and hormonal signals.
