When a protein is produced from a particular gene, another gene in the same cell

Question

When a protein is produced from a particular gene, another gene in the same cell’s nucleus soon begins to transcribe RNA from its coding regions. When the first gene is artificially inactivated, the second gene soon stops RNA transcription. What does the protein made from the first gene’s mRNA likely do?

Cause all genes in the cell to be expressed

Bind to many places on the DNA and cut it into pieces

Diffuse out of the cell and bind to receptors on the plasma membrane

Bind to DNA at a particular sequence of nucleotides and cause the DNA to bend into a new shape

Explanation / Answer

Cause all genes in the cell to be expressed.

protein produced by a gene will lead to the transcription of other gene , which means that the first gene product causes all genes to be expressed . When the first gene was inactivated , other gene's transcription was also stopped . this confirms the above statement.
