Answer:

Explanation:

Gene regulation is the process of controlling which genes in a cell's DNA are expressed.

Gene regulation is also how a cell controls which gene, out of the many genes in its genome, are "turned on".

Eukaryotic gene expression involves many steps, and almost all of them can be regulated. Different genes are regulated at different points, and it’s not uncommon for a gene (particularly an important or powerful one) to be regulated at multiple steps.

-Chromatin accessibility. The structure of chromatin (DNA and its organizing proteins) can be regulated. More open or “relaxed” chromatin makes a gene more available for transcription.

-Transcription. Transcription is a key regulatory point for many genes. Sets of transcription factor proteins bind to specific DNA sequences in or near a gene and promote or repress its transcription into an RNA.

-RNA processing. Splicing, capping, and addition of a poly-A tail to an RNA molecule can be regulated, and so can exit from the nucleus. Different mRNAs may be made from the same pre-mRNA by alternative splicing.

-RNA stability. The lifetime of an mRNA molecule in the cytosol affects how many proteins can be made from it. Small regulatory RNAs called miRNAs can bind to target mRNAs and cause them to be chopped up.

-Translation. Translation of an mRNA may be increased or inhibited by regulators. For instance, miRNAs sometimes block translation of their target mRNAs (rather than causing them to be chopped up).

-Protein activity. Proteins can undergo a variety of modifications, such as being chopped up or tagged with chemical groups. These modifications can be regulated and may affect the activity or behavior of the protein.

Although all stages of gene expression can be regulated, the main control point for many genes is transcription. Later stages of regulation often refine the gene expression patterns that are "roughed out" during transcription.

skad [1K]

Answer:the messenger rna

Explanation:

A change in the DNA sequence of a gene leads to a change in the nucleotide sequence in the messenger RNA, which can lead to a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein.

jolli1 [7]
They are among the only types of organisms that get their energy from a non-living thing, and they give energy to Primary consumers, which give energy to secondary consumers, which give energy to tertiary consumers, which can give energy to decomposers, etc.

Explain why athletes need to eat lots of complex carbohydrates during training.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The carbohydrate is one of the most important nutrients needed in the diet of an athlete, as they are important to increase their performance during physical activity and exercise.

Carbohydrate is the main source of energy needed by the brain and by our body for its proper functioning. when carbohydrates are eaten up they are broken up into small sugar unit called as glucose.

These glucose unit are stored in the muscle and liver in the form of glycogen to be used as a fuel at the time of exercise and during intense physical activity. It is known to enhance the athlete performance by delaying the fatigue and help them to compete for a longer period of time.
