Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcriptional control refers to the regulation of gene expression at the level of transcription. This is the primary control mechanism in gene activity as it determines whether or not a particular gene is transcribed into RNA. Translation control occurs after mRNA has been transcribed, and involves the regulation of protein synthesis. Gene rearrangement and DNA modification are additional mechanisms that can affect gene activity, but they are not considered the first control.
