Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both prokaryotes and differentiated eukaryotic cells regulate the expression of their genes by only transcribing a small number of them at any given time. This allows the cell to conserve energy and resources by producing only the proteins needed for specific cellular functions. Translation, replication, and repair are not necessarily linked to gene expression regulation in the same way that transcription is.
