During development of an organism, the product of one gene is required to activate another gene. Such gene products are called

1. transcription factors
2. episomes
3. coenzymes
4. catalase

Correct answer: transcription factors

Solution

The product of one gene that activates another gene is a regulatory protein that influences transcription. These proteins are called transcription factors because they bind specific DNA sequences and help start gene expression.
