Identify if the following situations represent an increase or decrease in transcription or translation.
-Fewer RNA polymerase enzymes are produced.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If fewer RNA polymerase enzymes are produced, it means that there is a down-regulation in transcription. RNA polymerase is a key enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of RNA during transcription. Therefore, decreases in RNA polymerase result in a decrease in the transcription of genes. This situation does not affect translation, which occurs after transcription, and involves the synthesis of proteins from RNA molecules.
