Term
DNA regions that promote expression in eukaryotes can be ___________ the gene.
Definition
much farther away
Term
In eukaryotes, interior regions of the mRNA have been removed, and ___________________.
Definition
something has been added to the end of the mRNA.
Term
Eukaryotic gene regulation is typically more ___________ than regulation of prokaryotes.
Definition
complex
Term
The basic mechanisms of regulation (between eukaryotes and prokaryotes) are similar, although eukaryotes often use greater numbers of regulational molecules to give ____________________.
Definition
finer control over expression
Term
Eukaryotic DNA is packed into histone proteins.
Definition
The looseness/tightness of this packing can affect regulation.
Term
How is mRNA processed before heading to the cytoplasm?
Definition
A 5' protein cap and a 3' polyA tail are added to give stability. Non-coding introns are spliced out of the mRNA by the spliceosome.
