Which of the Following Would Not Induce Eukaryotic Gene Expression

Question

Which of the following would not induce eukaryotic gene expression?
A) Heat
B) Light
C) Hormones
D) siRNAs
E) Growth factors

Accepted Answer

siRNAs are small interfering RNAs that inhibit gene expression by causing degradation of mRNA molecules. They do not induce gene expression. Heat, light, hormones, and growth factors can all stimulate or induce gene expression in eukaryotic cells through various mechanisms.
