One reason that regulation of gene expression is important is that it saves energy and materials from being used when they are n
ot needed. Although most genes have more than one form of regulation acting upon them, at which point would regulation be most efficient in conserving energy and materials if the product of a gene is not needed?a. post-translational regulation b. regulation of translation
c. post-transcriptions regulation
d. transcriptional regulation (regulation of whether transcription occurs)
d. transcriptional regulation (regulation of whether transcription occurs)
Explanation:
If the product of a gene is not needed, then allowing the transcription of such gene to proceed only to be regulated after or even after translation will result in a mere wastage of resources. It thus means that the resources utilized for transcription has been wasted.
