Which of the following most affects expression of specific cellular RNA's in the fast growing liver cells of an infant ? a.-mitochondrial proteins
b.-nuclear transcription factors
c.-peroximal proteins
d.-ribosomes
e.-vitamins

Think it is b.

Fast growing liver requires protein synthesis, which in turn needs increased transcriptional activity-transcriptional factors regulate transcriptional activity

Now I'm sure that RNA expression means translation because gene expression means transcription. So the answer is D.ribosomes

the answer is B
basically they have asked whaT most affects the EXPRESSION...as in rate limiting. mRNA i think has the shortest half life so the speed of its synthesis would influence protein synthesis in a growing cell the most
