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).'
The answer to this is true.
they conduct a literature review before formulating any hypothesis. carrying out a literature review involves utilizing research databases to look for research materials that cover or are related to a certain topic of interest. the scope of the study and subject matter will influence the selection of research materials. information in these material play a crucial role when scientist are formulating hypothesis.
Microscopical observations show the presence of simple in structure, abundant, and pervasive microorganisms. Researchers at the time came to the conclusion that there was a life force in the air.
