Which of the following is an example of post-transcriptional control of gene expression?
A) the addition of methyl groups to cytosine bases of DNA
B) the binding of transcription factors to a promoter
C) the removal of introns and alternative splicing of exons
D) gene amplification contributing to cancer

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The removal of introns and alternative splicing of exons are processes that occur after the initial transcription of RNA, making them examples of post-transcriptional control of gene expression. These processes can alter the mRNA molecule and thus influence the type and amount of protein produced.
