Summary Introduction

To explain:

The regulation of gene expression by a cell.

Introduction:

Gene expression is mainly done by two processes: transcription and translation. In transcription the genetic information carried by DNA is copied to a nucleotide sequence of mRNA.

Regulation of gene expression may be done from the transcription step to post-translational modification of a protein. Gene regulation is carried out by the cell, to control the quantity and nature of the expressed gene.

Gene expression is done by the transcription of DNA into mRNA and formation of polypeptide chains by the translation process. This process is termed as ‘central dogma’.
