- Please answer fast Describe how specific molecules are used to change the gene expression of a gene in a cell. Explain if this change in gene expression is beneficial to either the cell or society, using specific examples .arrow_forwardSelect all the examples of mutations that are likely to have a global effect on gene expression. Check All That Apply a mutation in a splice donor recognition sequence within an snRNA gene a mutation that reduces expression of an rRNA a hypomorphic mutation in the catalytic site of RNA polymerase a silent mutation in a gene encoding a protein in the small ribosomal subunit a nonsense mutation in a gene encoding an ion channelarrow_forwardCreate a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the process of gene expression in Bacteria versus eukaryotes. Remember that “gene expression” can include any part of transcription or translation. Try to be as thorough as you can about what aspects of this process are similar between the two taxa, and what characteristics are distinct to only Bacteria or eukaryotes.

- Why is regulating transcription the main way that cells control gene expression? A. Because transcription is the last step in gene expression, stopping here ensures that the cell has a stockpile of proteins to prepare them from all unexpected environmental changes. B. Because transcription involves interactions with DNA, preventing transcription reduces the changes of mutation in the cell’s genome. C. Because transcription is the first step in gene expression, stopping at transcription reduces the amount of energy and resources used by producing unnecessary gene products. D. Because transcription is the shortest step in gene expression, preventing transcription has little effect on the rate of protein production.arrow_forwardSuppose you had funding to do a genome-wide gene expression experiment (20,000 genes).
