Solution

Eukaryotes and bacteria both use regulatory proteins binding to promoter sequences to control gene expression, so this method is not unique to eukaryotes.

Bacteria, not eukaryotes, typically organize genes into operons. An operon is a group of genes that are regulated together, allowing for coordinated expression of related genes. This is not a common feature in eukaryotic genomes.

Limiting access to free nucleic acids is not a primary method of gene expression control in either eukaryotes or bacteria.

Control of both RNA splicing and chromatin remodeling, however, is a method used by eukaryotes but not by bacteria.

RNA splicing is a process that occurs in eukaryotes where introns (non-coding sequences) are removed from the pre-mRNA and exons (coding sequences) are joined together to form the mature mRNA. This process does not occur in bacteria because bacterial genes do not contain introns.

Chromatin remodeling is a process that changes the structure of the chromatin to either allow or prevent transcription. This process is unique to eukaryotes because bacteria do not have chromatin; their DNA is not packaged into histones as it is in eukaryotes.

So, the correct answer is: control of both RNA splicing and chromatin remodeling.
