Gene regulation Genes produce molecules called mRNA that go on to produce proteins. High concentrations of protein inhibit the production of mRNA, leading to stable gene regulation. This process has been modeled (see Section 10.3) to show that the concentration of mRNA over time is given by the equation mstd 1 2e2t ssin t 2 cos td 1 1 2 (a) Evaluate limtl0 mstd and interpret your result. (b) Use the Squeeze Theorem to evaluate limtl` mstd and interpret your result.
