Ans.
Gene regulation or regulation of gene expression involves mechanisms, used by the cells to enhance or reduce the expression of specific genes to make proteins or RNA. Gene regulation occurs at transcriptional level and post-transcriptional level, which involves regulation at translational level or protein level.
Regulation at translational level or protein level is also important as regulation at transcriptional level. Translational regulation controls formation of proteins from mRNA molecules and includes non-coding mRNAs and repressor proteins. It is important for cell growth, differentiation and cellular response to stress and provides an immediate adjustment of gene expression by directly regulating the protein concentration.
Regulation at protein level involves regulation of active protein. It includes regulation by various small molecules, post-translational modifications (such as phosphorylation), and proteolysis. Regulation only at transcriptional level is not sufficient to provide proper gene regulation and leads to various drawbacks, such as Fragile X Syndrome (due to defect in a protein).
Thus, 'gene regulation is important both at transcriptional level and at post-transcriptional level (during translation or protein level).'
Answer:
Bark
Explanation:
The scales on the fish serves as protection for the fish. And the tree bark serves as protection for the tree.
Biomes are typically defined<span> by their climate and dominant vegetation, including grassland, tundra, desert, tropical rainforest, and deciduous and coniferous forests.</span>
<span>In humans, oogenesis
in comparison to spermatogenesis is different in that the temperature they have.
Female puberty typically occurs much later than the age of male puberty oocyte
production works best at cooler temperatures than those that support
spermatogenesis oogenesis continues throughout life, but spermatogenesis
typically ends.</span>
