MCQs on Regulation Of Gene Expression In Eukaryotes

The process of gene expression causes the information of DNA to be transformed into a functional product – protein. While a gene is being expressed, DNA code gets converted into a protein, with the help of transcription and translation.

(a) genes

(b) operons

(c) anticodon

(d) codon

Answer: (c)

7. Basic tools of genetic regulation are the ability of some proteins to bind to specific

(a) regulatory DNA sequences

(b) regulatory RNA sequences

(c) enzymes of cells

(d) promoter portions of genes

Answer: (a)
