Answer:
The nuclear receptor superfamily comprises a large group of transcription factors that play a key regulatory role in development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. A special feature of nuclear receptors is their ability to bind to condensed chromatin templates, which makes them important initiators of gene transcription. Moreover, the ability of nuclear receptors to sequentially recruit a variety of transcription factors and coregulators to target promoters and to orchestrate the whole process of gene transcription confirms their biological significance and stimulates intensive research and a high level of scientific interest in this field. In this review, we summarise current knowledge regarding the structure and function of nuclear receptors as principal regulators of gene expression. Emphasis is given to the molecular mechanisms of nuclear receptor-mediated transcriptional activation and repression including recent progress made in this area.

Answer:
D) presence of transcription activators or repressors
Explanation:
The reason why this is not post-transcriptional regulation is that activators actually start the process of transcription by binding to specific sites. while on contrary when repressor binds it halt the process.
For example, there is a protein called CAP which in the presence of cAMP bind with promoter region and enhances the activity of RNA polymerase . While in the absence of cAMP it can not bind to promoter hence the transcription stooped.
Yes. Half life or better known as Radioactive decay is measured in TIME. Such as seconds, minutes, hours, days, years ect...
