Which of the following is an example of post-transcriptional control of gene expression?
a. the addition of methyl groups to cytosine bases of DNA
b. the binding of transcription factors to a promoter
c. the removal of introns and alternative splicing of exons
d. gene amplification contributing to cancer

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

Transcription may be defined as the process of formation of RNA molecule from the template DNA with the help of enzymes and transcription factors. The transcription occurs in 5' to 3' direction.

Post trancriptional modification occurs in the RNA molecule that plays an important role in transcription as well as translation. The introns are removed from the RNA transcript and exons joined together is known as splicing. The alternative splicing occurs in which different protein isoforms are formed by the single exons.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
