• transcription factors

• topoisomerase

• regulatory genes

• activators

Multiple Choice

Regulatory proteins (transcription factors) may

• encourage transcription

• prevent transcription

• stop transcription once its started

• either encourage or prevent transcription

Multiple Choice

What is the role of operons in prokaryote gene expression?

• It makes the genes prokaryotes be turned on
• It accounts for the regulation of gene activity in response to the needs of the cells
• To make DNA for the gene

• promoter
• repressor
• operator
• gene

Multiple Choice

What does the lactose do to the Operon?

• Blocks transcription of the lactase gene by cutting up the DNA

• Binds to the repressor preventing it from attaching to the operator

• The lactose binds promoter to prevent transcription

• Allows for the transcription rate of lactase to slow down

Multiple Choice

What does the lactose do to the Operon?

• Blocks transcription of the lactase gene by cutting up the DNA

• Binds to the repressor preventing it from attaching to the operator
