B) transcriptional control
C) posttranscriptional control
D) translational control
E) posttranslational control

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pretranscriptional control involves modifications to the DNA structure, such as methylation and chromatin packing, which can prevent the binding of transcription factors and keep genes turned off. Transcriptional control involves regulating the initiation of transcription, posttranscriptional control involves regulating RNA processing and stability, translational control involves regulating protein synthesis, and posttranslational control involves regulating the activity and stability of proteins.
