DNA binding proteins in prokaryotes regulate gene expression by controlling transcription
kondaur [170]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Gene expression, which involves the transcription of DNA into mRNA and the subsequent translation of mRNA into proteins, is regulated in the cell of prokaryotes i.e. it is kept under control. This regulatory process, however, is done at the TRANSCRIPTIONAL LEVEL, in prokaryotic organisms like bacteria.

DNA binding proteins called transcription factors bind to the promoter region of a gene and either facilitates/enhance the binding of RNA polymerase or inhibits its binding. The enhancers are called ACTIVATORS while the inhibitors are called REPRESSORS.
