Which term most appropriately refers to a regulatory protein in prokaryotes?
A) translation
B) RNA processing
C) DNA binding protein
D) gyrase action
E) helicase activation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA binding proteins are regulatory proteins that bind to specific sites on DNA and can activate or repress gene transcription. Prokaryotes primarily use DNA binding proteins to regulate gene expression. Translation, RNA processing, gyrase action, and helicase activation are all important biochemical processes in prokaryotes, but they do not refer specifically to regulatory proteins.
