Control of gene expression in eukaryotes includes all of the following except
A) alternative RNA splicing.
B) binding of proteins to DNA.
C) transcription factors.
D) stabilization of mRNA by miRNA.
E) DNA methylation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stabilization of mRNA by miRNA is a mechanism of gene expression control in eukaryotes, so it should not be included in the list of exceptions. The other options listed (alternative RNA splicing, binding of proteins to DNA, transcription factors, and DNA methylation) are all examples of ways in which gene expression can be regulated in eukaryotic cells.
