Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene expression refers to the process by which the information in a gene is used to produce a functional protein. This process involves transcription of DNA into RNA, and translation of the RNA into a protein. Replication is the process by which genetic material is duplicated, while post-translation modification refers to changes that occur to a protein after it has been synthesized. Cloning is a separate process by which an exact copy of an organism or gene is produced.
