This region of prokaryotic DNA controls whether transcription can occur by allowing repressor binding.
Operator
This region of DNA controls when and where a gene is expressed.
What is Regulatory element (or promoter/enhancer)
This leafy herb tastes like soap to people with a genetic variant that makes them extra sensitive to aldehyde groups.

This prokaryotic transcription factor binds the core RNA polymerase and helps it recognize promoter regions.
What is Sigma Factor
This chemical modification of DNA silences gene expression without changing the sequence.
What is DNA Methylation
This real human protein is named after an electric yellow anime character because scientists thought it helped "zap" signals quickly across the retina
