What Does Gene Regulation in Eukaryotic Cells Include

Question

What does gene regulation in eukaryotic cells include?
A) activators that help RNA polymerase bind to the promoter
B) repressors that prevent DNA polymerase from binding
C) activation of the X chromosome
D) degradation of nucleases by mRNA

Accepted Answer

Gene regulation in eukaryotic cells includes activators, which help RNA polymerase bind to the promoter and initiate transcription.

Answer: B
 Gene regulation in eukaryotic cells also includes repressors, which prevent RNA polymerase from binding to the promoter and decrease or halt transcription.

Answer: C
 Activation of the X chromosome is a specific example of gene regulation in eukaryotic cells, but it is not a general characteristic of all types of gene regulation.

Answer: D
 Degradation of nucleases by mRNA is not a process involved in gene regulation in eukaryotic cells.
