Question
Prokaryotes regulate gene expression primarily
- In order to maintain homeostasis
- In response to changing environmental conditions
- During development, as cells specialize
- Prokaryotes do not regulate gene expression. All genes are always on
Hint:
Prokaryotic transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm, and regulation occurs at the transcriptional level.
The correct answer is: In response to changing environmental conditions
- In prokaryotes, regulatory proteins are often controlled by nutrient availability.
- This allows organisms such as bacteria to rapidly adjust their transcription patterns in response to environmental conditions.
