Which Level of Gene Regulation Occurs Via the Action of Inducible

Question

Which level of gene regulation occurs via the action of inducible and repressible genes?
A) Replication
B) Transcription
C) Translation
D) Replication and transcription
E) Replication and translation

Accepted Answer

The level of gene regulation that occurs via the action of inducible and repressible genes is transcription. Inducible genes are turned on in response to a specific environmental signal, while repressible genes are turned off in response to a specific environmental signal. Both of these types of genes regulate the rate at which transcription occurs by either allowing or preventing RNA polymerase from binding to the promoter region of the gene.
