Question

You are studying a group of cells and found that transcription factor FOX promotes expression of the gene HOUND. You find a group of cells that have abundant amounts of the protein FOX but do not express any of the protein HOUND. What is the most likely explanation for your findings?

Answer 1

FOX promotes the expression of the gene HOUND indirectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is likely that there is another protein (protein X) that is involved. For example FOX maybe increasing the expression of protein X which may activate the expression of the HOUND gene through cell signalling or protein-protein interactions.
