Gene expression is often assayed by measuring the level of mRNA produced from a gene. What level of the control of gene expression can by analysed by this type of assay?
A) replication control
B) transcriptional control
C) alternative splicing
D) translational control

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Measuring the level of mRNA from a gene can give insight into transcriptional control, or the regulation of gene expression at the level of DNA transcription. It cannot provide information on replication control, alternative splicing, or translational control.
