Question

Choose the statements that best describe how riboswitches regulate gene expression. They act as recruitment sites for ribosomes when not bound by a repressor. They act as ribozymes, inducing self-cleavage of the mRNA. They act as corepressors, binding repressor proteins to prevent transcription. They bind to complementary mRNA strands to prevent translation. They form a secondary structure in mRNA that changes conformation when bound by regulatory proteins.
