Hey everyone, Let's take a look at this question. Together. In blank there are often multiple transcription factors that work together to regulate gene expression while in blank a single transcription factor can regulate the expression of multiple genes. So we know that both you Kerasiotes and bacteria rely on transcription factors to regulate gene expression. And we know that in eukaryotes we have multiple transcription factors that work together. And in bacteria we know that we have a single transcription factor regulating multiple jeans and so looking at our answer choices in relation to the question which one best represents that eukaryotes have multiple transcription factors that work together and bacteria having that single transcription factor that regulates the expression of multiple genes. And so we can see that answer choice C. Best represents that because in eukaryotes there are multiple transcription factors that work together to regulate gene expression while in bacteria there is a single transcription factor that can regulate the expression of multiple genes. So answer choice C. Is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
