Question

Explain the following statement: "Generally speaking, the faster a eukaryotic cell needs to regulate gene expression, the more downstream from transcription that regulation will occur."

Answer 1

The faster Eukaryotic cell for regulation of gene expression results in decrease of transcription.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cell consists of nucleus and organelles.

The main coin of energy for proper functioning of the gene is protein. The cell synthesis protein from DNA through process called as central dogma which comprises of two processes called as transcription and translation. Gene regulation refers to outcome of protein. As the protein outcome increases, the rate of transcription decreases.  

Answer 2

Among eukaryotic cells, there are two processes which comprise protein synthesis from DNA which are transcription and translation. In this statement, this simply states that because of gene regulation, meaning the control of protein outcome results to decrease activity of transcription.
