Which of the following methods is utilized by eukaryotes to control their gene expression that is different from the type of control found in bacteria?
A) control of chromatin remodeling
B) control of RNA splicing
C) transcriptional control
D) control of both RNA splicing and chromatin remodeling

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotes have additional mechanisms for controlling their gene expression that are not present in bacteria. These mechanisms include controlling RNA splicing and chromatin remodeling. Bacteria do not have introns to splice out and do not have the complex chromatin structure of eukaryotes, so they primarily rely on transcriptional control. Therefore, option D, which includes both RNA splicing and chromatin remodeling, is the best choice.
