Small Effector Molecules

Question

Small effector molecules
A)are always present in the cytoplasm.
B)are only found in the nucleus of the cell.
C)regulate gene transcription by binding to DNA.
D)regulate gene transcription by binding a regulatory protein.

Accepted Answer

Small effector molecules regulate gene transcription by binding a regulatory protein, which then affects gene expression. They are not always present in the cytoplasm and are typically not found in the nucleus or bind to DNA directly.
