Used to control where and how often specific genes are transcribed and translated into proteins
What is the importance of gene regulation?
Negative
What is the type of Feedback Loop that Prokaryotes use in gene expression?
Transcriptional, Post-Transcriptional, Translational and Post-Translational regulation
What are the four types of gene control in Eukaryotes
Cancer
What is one of the most prominent diseases that can occur from lack of/incorrect gene regulation?
Lac and Trp Operon
What are the two primary examples of Prokaryotic Gene Regulation?
Gene transcription factors
What is the name of the group of proteins that are added initiate transcription?
Promoter
What is the region of a gene called where RNA polymerase attaches?
Activator and Repressor Protein
What are the two types of proteins that control gene expression in Prokaryotes?
Methyl groups are added to hide nitrogenous bases
What is an example of transcriptional regulation?
Housekeeping Genes
What is the name of the category of genes that are always needed in the cell, and regulate metabolism, growth and DNA replication and transcription?
Co-repressor
What is the name of the molecule that binds to a repressor to inhibit gene regulation?
DNA is wrapped around histone proteins
Why are gene promoters inactive?
