Specific DNA site found near the start of target genes
Promoter
1 of 10
Transcription factor that stimulates transcription
Activator
2 of 10
Transcription factor that inhibits transcription
Repressor
3 of 10
Steroid hormone that can affect transcription when it forms a complex with a particular receptor
Oestrogen
4 of 10
RNAi that is specific because it is fully complementary to the target mRNA strand
siRNA
