Why do transcriptional regulators act as dimers or heterodimers rather than monomers when binding to DNA and regulating genes? O A. The dimer will interact wtih a greater number of nucleotides compared to the monomer allowing for more specificity when interacting with DNA and decreasing the chances of encountering the correct sequence of nucleotides at a random position within the DNA molecule. O B. Forming heterodimers means a smaller number of distinct genes can be regulated by a set number of transcriptional regulators. O C. Dimers or heterodimers are required to be able to fit within the minor groove of the DNA helix. O D. All of the above.

Expert Solution
Introduction

Genome of an organism, especially of eukaryotes, contain large number of non-coding sequences. In complex eukaryotes, not all genes are transcribed or expressed in all cell types. This regulation is possible at gene level or DNA level by transcriptional factors.

Note - We would consider one mcq question as one separate question even though they are from same topic. Since you have asked multiple questions, we will answer the first question for you. If you want a specific question to be answered, post that question alone or mention the question number.
