When the intracellular iron level is low, the turnover of transferrin mRNA is________(a) Increased(b) Decreased(c) Kept normal(d) Doesn’t effectThe question was asked in homework.This interesting question is from Control of Translation in portion Gene Expression : Translation of Cytogenetics

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (b) Decreased

To elaborate: By turnover of mRNA the EFFECTIVE concentration of a PROTEIN can be decreased as it REDUCES the chance of translation. When already the level of iron is low, more TRANSFERRING s required, so mRNA is stabilized and its turnover is reduced.
