Q1. A researcher studying the effects of a certain hormone on the liver finds that it increases the production of a specific protein. Which of the following processes is primarily responsible for this increase in protein production?
Answer: Increased transcription of the protein gene
Explanation: Increased transcription of the protein gene leads to increased mRNA synthesis and subsequent protein production, unlike enhanced translation, reduced degradation, and increased transport.
