Gene Expression

        Help!  

Question
Answer
activation genes   (blank)  
🗑
enhancer   a region agjacent to a eukaryotic gene that must be activated if the gene is to be expressed  
🗑
euchromatin   the uncoiled form of a chromatin  
🗑
exon   coding region of a eukaryotic gene  
🗑
gene expression   the transcription of DNA to RNA and then into proteins  
🗑
genome   the complete genetic material contained in an individual  
🗑
inducer   in the lac operon, the molecule that binds to repressor molecules and induces gene expression  
🗑
intron   a section of a structural gene that does not code for an amino acid and is excised before translation  
🗑
lac operon   DNA segment that codes for the regulatory enzymes for lactose metabolism in E. coli  
🗑
operon   a unit of DNA common in bacteria and phages consisitng of clusters of regulated genes  
🗑
pre-mRNA   a form of mRNA that contains introns and exons  
🗑
regulator gene   a genetic unit that regulates or suppresses the activity of one or more structural genes  
🗑
repression   the blockage of transcription by the action of a repressor protein  
🗑
repressor protein   a protein that inhabits a specific gene form being expressed  
🗑
strucural gene   genes that code for particular polypeptides  
🗑
transcription factor   additional proteins that bind to to enhancers and RNA polymerase and regulate transcription  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
