| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| an ______ gene is one that is transcribed into RNA | expressed |
| a group of genes that operate together is known as an ______ | operon |
| the lac genes are turned off by _________ and turned on by the presence of ________ | repressors, lactose |
| region of chromosome in an operon to which the repressor binds when the operon is turned off | operator |
| most ___________ genes are controlled individually and have regulatory sequences that are much more complex that those of the _______ operon | eukaryotic, lac |
| helps position RNA polymerase by marking the point at which transcription begins | TATA box |
| area on gene where repressor binds and stops transcription | operator |
| a DNA binding protein that stops transcription and turns off the gene | repressor |
| controls the organs and tissues that develop in various points of the embryo, determines an animals basic body plan | hox genes |
| t/f most hox genes are arranged in almost the exact order they are expressed in the body | true |
| t/f no common patterns of genetic control exist because all these genes have descended from the genes of common ancestors | false |
