What are Genes?; What is Gene Expression?; What is Regulation of Gene Expression?; Importance of Gene Regulation ;
Genes are the basic unit of heredity. They are pieces of DNA that encode instructions for the synthesis of proteins. Gene expression is the process by which genes are turned into proteins. Gene regulation is the process by which the expression of genes is controlled. Gene regulation is important because it allows cells to respond to their environment and to change their protein production in response to changes in the cell.
Difference Between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Transcript
omes
The transcriptomes of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are different in a few ways. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Eukaryotic cells also have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not. Prokaryotic cells have a simpler genome than eukaryotic cells, and they lack introns. Prokaryotic cells also have a smaller transcriptome than eukaryotic cells.
