Correct answer:
Enhancer: Activates gene transcription temporal-and tissue-specifically
Explanation of Solution
Enhancers are cis-acting sequences which control the gene regulation and have many binding sites for different activators and repressors. Therefore, they are responsible for tissue and temporal specific gene transcription.
