Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In prokaryotes, the majority of regulation occurs at the transcriptional level, where specific proteins called transcription factors can bind to DNA and either activate or inhibit gene expression. This type of regulation allows for quick and efficient control of gene expression in response to changes in the environment. While other levels of regulation, such as post-translational modification, do occur in prokaryotes, they are not as prominent as transcriptional regulation.
