CAIE A-Level Biology A2 16.3.4 Transcription Factors in Eukaryotes Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

Control of gene expression in eukaryotes is more complex than in prokaryotes.

In plants, the control of gene expression can involve plant hormones, such as gibberellin, and proteins known as JAZ and MYC.

Transcription of some plant genes is prevented when JAZ proteins bind to other proteins known as MYC.
When JAZ proteins are broken down, MYC proteins are free to bind to DNA. This allows transcription to begin.
State the term that is used to describe proteins such as MYC proteins.
