which of the following statements is true about gene regulation in prokaryotes?
a) promoters determine whether a gene is expressed
b) expressed genes make more DNA
c) DNA-binding proteins determine whether a gene is expressed
d) RNA polymerase regulates gene expression

Respuesta :

The answer is c) DNA-binding proteins determine whether a gene is expressed

The statement which is true about gene regulation in prokaryotes is Choice C: DNA-binding proteins determine whether a gene is expressed

Proteins that are needed for a specific function are encoded together in blocks called operons.

In prokaryotes, three types of regulatory molecules that can affect the expression of operons are namely: repressors, activators, and inducers.

  • Repressors are proteins that suppress transcription of a gene in response to stimulus.

  • Activators are proteins that increase the transcription of a gene in response to an stimulus.

  • Inducers are molecules that either activate or repress transcription depending on the needs of the cell and the availability of substrate.
