Which of the following statements about the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes is correct? A. Gene activity cannot be regulated by the stability of the RNA transcript. B. Gene activity cannot be regulated by post-translational modification. C. Gene activity can be regulated by the processing of the RNA. D. Gene activity cannot be regulated by the translation of the mRNA. E. Gene activity cannot be regulated by the stability of the resultant protein.

Step 1
Gene activity can be regulated by the stability of the RNA transcript. If the RNA transcript is more stable, it will be available for translation for a longer time, leading to more protein production. So, this statement is incorrect. B. Gene activity can be Show more…
