Question

At what point during protein synthesis are genes expressed?

Answer 1

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as transfer RNA (tRNA) or small nuclear RNA genes, the product is a functional RNA.

Answer 2

Answer: When the protein for a particular gene is formed, the gene is expressed

Gene expression is the process in which the information from a gene is used for the synthesis of protein. The gene code for protein and the protein regulate the function of the cell in the body.

It involves the process of transcription in which a segment of DNA is xeroxed into mRNA by the help of enzyme RNA polymerase. The next step is the translation in which the messenger RNA is decoded in the ribosome to produce a specific amino acid or the polypeptide chain that perform a specific function in the cell.
