Are there any drawbacks to only regulating at the transcriptional level and not the translational level or protein level?

Biology

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).'

What does the small vacuole do?
Marina86 [1]
<span>Vacuoles are organelles present in plant cells, some animal, and some prokaryotic cells. There is a difference in size between plant and animal cells. Plant cells usually have one large vacuole while animal cells have a number of small vacuoles. If the term "small vacuoles" is used for vacuoles in animal cells, then they are involved in overcoming the foreign particles, storage of waste and during the exocytosis, and invagination of the cell membrane during engulfing the bacteria.</span>

True or false Increasing the number of inhibitors will decrease the overall rate of reaction.
vichka [17]

Explanation:

By definition, inhibitors slow down chemical reactions. So if you were to add an inhibitor to a reaction, you would cause the rate of reaction to decrease. The opposite idea of inhibitors are enzymes. These speed up chemical reactions, thus increasing the reaction rate
