Question
Chapter 14, Problem 13CONQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The meaning of attenuation and whether it is an example of gene regulation at the level of transcription or translation or not.
Introduction:
Transcription is the process through which, information from the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) strand is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA. Translation is the process through which, ribosomes synthesize proteins in the cytoplasm, after the transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell.
