12-5: Gene Regulation
Gene Regulation: An Example
- operon: group of genes that operate together
- lac genes are turned off by repressors and turned on by the presence of lactose
- operator: area where repressor binds, "the other region"
Eukaryotic Gene Regulation
- Most eukaryotic genes are controlled indivuatlly, regulatory sequences are much more complex than "lac" operon
- differentiation: cells become more specialized in structure
- hox genes: genes that control differentation of cells and tissues in the embryo
