Question
____ is the activation of a gene that results in the transcription.
- Gene expression
- Gene technology
- Eukaryotic expression
- Prokaryotic expression
Hint:
Activation of gene: is kicked off when proteins called transcription factors bind to two key bits of DNA, an enhancer and a promoter.
The correct answer is: Gene expression
- Gene expression is the process of turning on a specific gene to start making messenger RNA.
- The messenger RNA can then perform intended jobs in the cell, such as forming proteins. Gene expression controls both whether or not the messenger RNA is made, as well as how much messenger RNA is made at that time.
