Recall from Chapter 11 that cyclin-dependent kinases are activated when they bind to a cyclin protein.This form of regulation is _____.
A)constitutive control
B)transcriptional control
C)translational control
D)post-translational control

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cyclin-dependent kinases are activated by binding to cyclins, which is a post-translational modification. This means that the regulation occurs after the protein has been translated, making D the correct answer. Constitutive control refers to a protein that is constantly being produced, transcriptional control involves regulation of gene expression at the transcription level, and translational control involves regulation of gene expression at the level of mRNA translation.
