Question

Please answer and explain the following question in the image provided below. I believe that the answer is c, however I would like to check and make sure. Thank you.

Which one of the following is the main reason that a typical eukaryotie gene is able to respond to a far greater variety of regulatory signals than a typical prokaryotic gene or operon? 2. (a) Eukaryotes have three types of RNA polymerase. (b) Eukaryotic RNA polymerases require general transcription factors. (c) The transcription of a eukaryotic gene can be influenced by proteins that bind far from the promoter. tic genes are packaged into nucleosomes.

Explanation / Answer

(c) is the right answer since enhancers (proteins) will bind far from the promoter region (~1000 nucleotides) on the DNA or gene that regulates the expression of the particular gene.
