Which of the following activities can prokaryotes carry out in response to certain chemical signals?
A)turn off translation of their mRNA
B)alter the level of production of various enzymes

D)inactivate their mRNA molecules

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prokaryotes can alter the level of production of various enzymes in response to chemical signals. This allows them to regulate their metabolism and respond to changes in their environment. While prokaryotes can regulate translation and ribosome activity, these activities are not directly controlled by chemical signals. mRNA inactivation is also not a commonly observed activity in prokaryotes.
