Can prokaryotes remove introns during gene expression?

No, prokaryotes do not remove introns during gene expression.


Which are used more often in prokaryotes and eukaryotes activators or repressors?

Both activators and repressors are used in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes to regulate gene expression. However, activators are more commonly used in eukaryotes, while repressors tend to be more prevalent in prokaryotes.


Are introns present in prokaryotes?

No, introns are not present in prokaryotes. They are found in eukaryotic organisms, where they are removed during the process of gene expression.


Advantages and disadvantages of gene technology?

The advantages of gene technology is that it is able to provide scientific evidence and research into areas of health that will add to what doctors already know about specific diseases. Gene technology will assist in predicting the future about medicine. The disadvantage of gene technology is that by medical standards, it is still in its infancy and there are many uncertainties attached to the technology that is being used.


What region of prokaryotic gene is analogous to the enhancer region of a eukaryotic gene?

In prokaryotes, the regulatory region of a gene where transcription factors bind to enhance gene expression is called the promoter region. While prokaryotes do not have enhancer regions like eukaryotes, they can have operator regions where repressor proteins bind to downregulate gene expression.


What Is the benefit of gene swapping to the prokaryote population?

Since prokaryotes can only reproduce asexually gene swapping is a way for them to create genetic diveresity.


What is Blue Gene technology?

Blue gene technology is a type of project designed to construct several supercomputers running in speeds of PFLOPS (petaFLOPS) range and at nearly 500 TFLOPS (teraFLOPS). It is used in supercomputers.


How prokaryotes control gene expression?

The operon often controls the transcription of prokaryote genes.


What is technology for changing a gene?

CRISPR-Cas9 is a commonly used technology for changing a gene. It works by using a specialized protein to target specific DNA sequences and making precise changes to the genetic code. This tool has revolutionized genetic engineering and gene editing techniques.


How is protein synthesis different in prokaryotes and eurkaryotes?

One way that protein synthesis differs between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that gene groups that produce proteins are organized into operons in prokaryotes, but they are not organized into operons in eukaryotes. Also, protein synthesis in eukaryotes involves more protein and is a more intricate process than in prokaryotes.


What is the primary source of genetic variability in prokaryotes?

The primary source of genetic variability in prokaryotes is through horizontal gene transfer mechanisms such as transformation, transduction, and conjugation. These processes allow prokaryotes to acquire new genetic material from other bacterial cells or environments, leading to genetic diversity within populations.


Why does the promoter position differ between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

In prokaryotes, the promoter is made up of two sequences at -10 and -35. Eukaryotic promoters are diverse and difficult to characterize, they lie upstream of the gene and have regulatory elements that are several kilobases away from the start site.
