región of gene X, which determines the length of the tail in mice, is mutated so the that transcription factors bind it at a much higher affinity compared to the wild-type sequence. What is the most likely phenotypic outcome? Tail length will not change because the enhancer is a non-coding sequence Tail length will increased due to increased activity of the gene's promoter Tail length will decreased because any mutation will cause a loss-of-function of these regulatory regions Not just the tail will be enlarged because increased activity of the enhancer will impact many genes

ennar
region of gene X, which determines the length of the tail in mice, is mutated so
that transcription factors bind it at a much higher affinity compared to the wild-type sequence.
What is the most likely phenotypic outcome?
Tail length will not change because the enhancer is a non-coding sequence
Tail length will increased due to increased activity of the gene's promoter
Tail length will decreased because any mutation will cause a loss-of-function of these regulatory regions
Not just the tail will be enlarged because increased activity of the enhancer will impact many genes
