8 Questions
Where does protein synthesis occur?
Ribosomes
What is the matrix of protein synthesis?
A molecule
What is the primary function of the matrix of protein synthesis?
To assemble proteins
What is gene regulation?
Gene regulation includes a wide range of mechanisms used by cells to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products (protein or RNA).
What are some examples of the sophisticated programs of gene expression observed in biology?
Sophisticated programs of gene expression are observed in biology to trigger developmental pathways, respond to environmental stimuli, or adapt to new food sources.
What are the steps of gene expression that can be modulated?
Virtually any step of gene expression can be modulated, from transcriptional initiation, to RNA processing, and to the post-translational modification of a protein.
Why is gene regulation essential for viruses, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes?
Gene regulation is essential for viruses, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes as it increases the versatility and adaptability of an organism by allowing the cell to express protein when needed.

Barbara McClintock showed the interaction between two genetic loci, Activator (Ac) and Dissociator (Ds), in the color formation of maize seeds.
