Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes regulate gene expression, turning genes on and off in response to various cues. Which of the following mechanisms is common to both types of cells? Choose all that apply.
alternative splicing of mRNA |
||
opening or condensing chromatin |
||
transcriptional regulation |
||
post-translational regulation |
Opening or condensing chromatin
Transcriptional regulation
Post-translational regulation
These three stages of gene expression are common in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Opening and condensing of chromatin can lead to loose packing and tight packing of chromatin respectively. This can increase or decrease gene expression accordingly.
Transcriptional regulation occurs at the level of transcription to degrade any mutated RNA that is formed.
Post-translational regulation take place for the degradation of any protein which is of no use or is mutated.
Alternative splicing of messenger RNA takes place only in eukaryotes. This is because eukaryotes contain non coding sequences called introns in their messenger RNA which are needed to be separated before translation begin. These are not present in prokaryotes and hence no alternative splicing takes place in them.

Which of the following mechanisms to regulate gene expression are observed in eukaryotes, but are not generally observed in prokaryotes? Choose all that apply. Genes are grouped into operons, which allows transcriptional regulation to turn them all on together. RNA silencing selectively targets mRNA and destroys it to prevent further translation. Proteins can be activated or deactivated as a form of post-translational regulation. Epigenetic regulation can open or condense sectiosn of a chromosome, regulating which genes are transcribed. Regulatory proteins...
Please briefly explain the Regulation of Gene Expression in Eukaryotes at various levels (Please explain EACH): - Chromatin Structure/ Epigenetics - Transcriptional control - Processing and Stability of mRNA - Translational Control - Posttranslational control of protein function - Eliminating the Protein
Regulation of Gene Expression in Eukaryotes In eukaryotes, the Central Dogma of Genetics can be expanded to include post-transcriptional processing and post-translational processing, thus the Dogma becomes: Replication - Transcription Post-transcriptional Processing -Translation - Post-translational Processing - Functional Protein - Expressed Trait. This is the flow of information from the genetic material to the actual physical, chemical or behavioral trait in an organism. Of course, some traits are controlled by multiple genes and some also have an environmental component. At...
Transcriptional control of gene regulation is common in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Which of the following is not true? Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes: A. exhibit both positive and negative control. B. have repressors that impact expression. C. often requires interactions with DNA that is not proximal to structural genes. D. have genes that are closely related in function located proximally on a chromosome
Regulation of Gene Expression in Eukaryotes In all organisms, certain genes are expressed at any given time while other genes are not. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes regulate gene expression at the transcription stage. However the greater complexity of eukaryotic cells makes it possible for gene expression to be regulated at many other stages as well. The diagram below shows different stages at which gene expression may be regulated in eukaryotes. nucleus chro modifica anscription RNA processing cytoplasm degradation protein processing...
Q1)Which of the following is not involved in control of gene expression in eukaryotes? A. Change to DNA sequence. B. Alternative splicing. C. Export of mRNA from the nucleus. D. Transcriptional repression. E. Destruction of mRNA Q2) Trans-acting regulators of gene expression include? A. promoters. B. histone deacetylases C. introns D. silencers E. the TATA box. Q3) Gene regulation in eukaryotes often involves which of the following, which are not also used by prokaryotes? A.RNA polymerase B.Transcription factors C.Histone modification...
Which of the following is not true regarding regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes? In eukaryotic cells, transcriptional activators often work by recruiting the transcriptional macinery to gene promoters DNA methylation is an example of an epigenetic mark that can be inherited Acetylation of histones can result in a more open chromatin structure to allow transcription to occur Different genes can be turned off or on between different organs or stages of development Transcription factor DNA sequences are bound by...
In eukaryotes, post-transcriptional control of gene regulation may involve Question 19 options: a. alternative mRNA splicing. b. alternative mRNA splicing, control of nuclear export of mRNAs to the cytoplasm, and differential mRNA degradation. c. control of nuclear export of mRNAs to the cytoplasm. d. differential mRNA degradation.
Prokaryotes can coordinate the expression of genes for a specific function by grouping them into an operon, which is controlled by a single promotor. Which of the following allows eukaryotes to have similar coordinated control over a set of genes for a specific function? A single transcriptional regulator controlling multiple genes. Multiple transcriptional regulators controlling a gene. RNA interference Post-transcriptional controls
Detailed explanation plz. 4. In class, we discussed that regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes and prokaryotes have some similarities and some differences. I want you to focus on what's different between these two type of cells: name TWO mechanisms of control of gene expression that are only used by eukaryotes and discuss why each of those mechanisms wouldn't be possible in prokaryotes.
