Definition of Control (genetic). Control (genetic): The control of gene expression. Genetic control may be on the transcriptional or translational level. Transcriptional control works by controlling the number of RNA transcripts of a region of DNA, indirectly controlling protein synthesis.
The process by which DNA achieves its control of cell life and function through protein synthesis is called gene expression. A gene is a DNA sequence that contains genetic information for one functional protein. Proteins are essential for the modulation and maintenance of cellular activities.
