Control of gene expression in eukaryotic cells occurs at which level(s)?
A
Translational level

All of the above
C
Transcriptional level
D
Post-transcriptional level
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that gene expression in eukaryotic cells can be regulated at multiple levels, including transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels.
Recognize that the transcriptional level involves the regulation of the process by which DNA is transcribed into RNA. This is often the primary point of control for gene expression.
Consider the post-transcriptional level, which includes processes such as RNA splicing, editing, and transport, affecting the mRNA before it is translated into a protein.
Acknowledge the translational level, where the regulation occurs during the translation of mRNA into a protein, affecting the rate and efficiency of protein synthesis.
Conclude that gene expression can indeed be controlled at all these levels, but the transcriptional level is often highlighted as a key point of regulation in eukaryotic cells.
