Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the function of transcription factors?
  • Step 1: Understand that transcription factors are special proteins in the cell.
  • Step 2: Know that these proteins help another important protein called RNA polymerase.
  • Step 3: Learn that RNA polymerase is responsible for making RNA from DNA.
  • Step 4: Realize that transcription factors help RNA polymerase find the right starting point on the DNA, called the promoter.
  • Step 5: Finally, when RNA polymerase is at the promoter, it can start the process of transcription, which means making RNA.
