Transcription in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes is Similar in That

Question

Transcription in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is similar in that
A)transcriptional machinery controls the structure of chromatin.
B)the mRNA produced can undergo alternative splicing.
C)both are regulated by enhancers that can be located far away from the gene.
D)both occur within the cell nucleus.
E)both are regulated by binding of proteins to DNA near the gene being transcribed.

Accepted Answer

In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the regulation of gene transcription involves the binding of proteins (such as transcription factors) to specific DNA sequences near the gene being transcribed. This is a fundamental mechanism for controlling gene expression in all types of cells.
