Describe two ways in which posttranscriptional gene regulation occurs in eukaryotes.
Posttranscriptional Gene Regulation
The control of gene expression at the RNA level after the transcription process, influencing how and when mRNA is translated into proteins.
Eukaryotes
Organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes, distinguishing them from prokaryotes.
- Illustrate the methods used in controlling gene expression subsequent to transcription and translation.
