Problem 7Multiple Choice

If the nuclear envelope were experimentally removed but DNA remained intact, which of the following best describes the immediate likely effect on gene expression, assuming cytoplasmic nucleases remain active? Use compartmental reasoning.

tRNA molecules would begin to perform transcription inside mitochondria, compensating completely for any loss of nuclear compartmentalization and fully restoring protein synthesis rates.

Ribosomes would immediately relocate into the nucleus and increase translation of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins with no change in mRNA stability.

mRNA transcripts would be exposed to cytoplasmic nucleases and degraded more rapidly, reducing the pool of mRNA available for translation and decreasing protein synthesis.

Removal of the nuclear envelope would increase transcription rates because ribosomes would now have direct access to DNA and catalyze mRNA synthesis at a much faster cytoplasmic rate.
