analyze the example of gene expression of the bacteria below: A piece of DNA is transcribed into a piece of mRNA. The mRNA is translated in a protein. The protein has a chemical bonded to it that allows the protein to bond to a second piece of DNA. The protein chemical substrate prevents the second piece of DNA from being transcribed into mRNA. Why would the bacteria regulate gene expression in this manner? To express genes during reproduction To ensure gene expression when the initialing chemical is present To prevent gene expression if the initialing chemical is already provided To make sure the genes are constantly being expressed
