Question

In a certain eukaryotic cell, a gene's promoter region has a mutation that prevents transcription factors from binding. What is the likely consequence for the gene's expression?

Options

A

The gene will be expressed at a higher rate than normal because there is no transcriptional regulation.

B

The gene will be expressed normally as other regulatory mechanisms will compensate.

C

The gene will be expressed at a lower rate or not at all because transcription initiation is blocked.

D

The gene will be expressed randomly, with no predictable pattern.
