Questions and Answers

What is gene regulation?

  • The process of gene mutation
  • The process by which the information encoded in a gene is turned into a functional product (correct)
  • The degradation of genetic material
  • The transportation of genes within a cell

    • How do bacteria respond to variations in nutrient availability?

  • By modifying their gene expression pattern (correct)
  • By altering their genetic material
  • By decreasing their metabolic activity
  • By increasing their mutation rate

    • What determines the enzymes expressed by bacteria?

  • The pH of the environment
  • The size of the bacterial population
  • The temperature of the environment
  • The carbon sources and other nutrients available (correct)
