Problem 4

Background and context

The gene expression can be defined as the process of production of a phenotype on the basis of the genotype. The process of gene expression involves transcription, translation, and post-translational modifications. The gene, if activated, then the transcription result in the formation of the mRNA from the DNA, then maturation of the mRNA occurs, after the maturation of the mRNA, the translation result in the formation of the amino acid sequence. The amino acids in the post-transcriptional modification result in the formation of the functional protein. The regulation of the gene expression can be halted by stopping any of the processes of the gene expression.
