The Macho-1 transcription factor is responsible for muscle-specific gene express

Question

The Macho-1 transcription factor is responsible for muscle-specific gene expression in a particular subset of cells in the sea squirt embryo. Which of the following events is not a part of this process?

Macho-1 mRNA is transcribed by the mother. Only muscle cells translate the Macho-1 mRNA into protein. Macho-1 mRNA is localized to a particular region of the embryo prior to cell division. Cell divisions divide the embryo's cytoplasm such that only muscle cells acquire the Macho-1 mRNA. Only muscle cells receive extracellular signals that activate Macho-1 transcription.
