Which level of primary control in eukaryotic gene activity involves the speed of transport of mRNA from the nucleus into the cytoplasm?

A) pretranscriptional
B) transcriptional control
C) posttranscriptional control
D) translational control
E) posttranslational control

mRNA Transport

The process of moving messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells, where they direct protein synthesis.

Eukaryotic Gene

A segment of DNA that is found in eukaryotes, organisms with a complex cell structure, which directs the synthesis of a specific protein.

Pretranscriptional

Pretranscriptional refers to the processes and modifications that occur to genetic material prior to the synthesis of RNA from DNA, affecting how genes are expressed.

  • Provide an overview of gene expression control across several levels: transcription, posttranscription, translation, and posttranslation.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Posttranscriptional control involves the regulation of mRNA processing, transport, stability and translation efficiency. The speed of transport of mRNA from the nucleus into the cytoplasm is one of the aspects of posttranscriptional control.
