What is the most efficient way to regulate gene expression from the perspective of cellular resources?
What will be an ideal response?
From a cellular resource perspective, the best way to regulate gene expression is to prevent transcription. Any energy put into producing mRNA is wasted if the gene is product is not ultimately expressed and useful. Therefore, it is best to prevent gene expression at the first possible step, transcription, in order to save cellular resources.
