Why Is Regulating Transcription the Main Way That Cells Control

question 58

Multiple Choice

Why is regulating transcription the main way that cells control gene expression?

• A)Because transcription is the last step in gene expression, stopping here ensures that the cell has a stockpile of proteins to prepare them from all unexpected environmental changes.
• B)Because transcription involves interactions with DNA, preventing transcription reduces the changes of mutation in the cell's genome.
• C)Because transcription is the first step in gene expression, stopping at transcription reduces the amount of energy and resources used by producing unnecessary gene products.
• D)Because transcription is the shortest step in gene expression, preventing transcription has little effect on the rate of protein production.
