In eukaryotic gene regulation, what is the most accurate description of what a gene does when it has been “turned on”?
A
It is transcribed to produce an RNA (and often translated to produce a protein), increasing the gene’s expression.
B
It permanently changes the DNA sequence of the gene to a new allele.
C
It only replicates its DNA region more frequently during S phase without changing RNA production.
D
It stops transcription so no RNA is made from that gene.
