Questions and Answers
What is transcription-translation coupling?
What is transcription-translation coupling?
- A process where translation occurs before transcription
- A process where transcription and translation occur in separate compartments
- A mechanism of gene expression regulation where mRNA stability is affected by transcription
- A mechanism of gene expression regulation where mRNA synthesis is affected by concurrent translation (correct)
In prokaryotes, when are mRNAs translated?
In prokaryotes, when are mRNAs translated?
- Before transcription starts
- While they are being transcribed (correct)
- After transcription is complete
- In a separate cellular compartment from the site of transcription
What is the significance of transcription-translation coupling in bacteria?
What is the significance of transcription-translation coupling in bacteria?
- It has no significant role in bacterial gene expression
- It only affects the rate of transcription
- It is essential for genome integrity, termination of transcription, and control of mRNA stability (correct)
- It primarily influences the process of DNA replication
