Question

Question 3 of 10

What do prokaryotes and eukaryotes have in common in terms of gene
regulation?
OA. Both have proteins that can bind to mRNA and prevent translation.
OB. Both use enhancers far from the gene to regulate the rate of
transcription.
C. Both regulate protein production at all stages of transcription and
translation.
D. Both control whether RNA polymerase can bind to, and transcribe,
genes.

Answer 1

D. Both control whether RNA polymerase can bind to, and transcribe, genes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes share the common mechanism of gene regulation by controlling the binding of RNA polymerase to genes to initiate transcription. While they have some differences in the specific processes and regulatory elements, both types of organisms use gene regulation to control when and to what extent genes are transcribed into RNA.
