Chapter 15- Regulation Of Gen Expression Flashcards
Operon
The point on DNA where a restriction enzymes binds
Operator
The on off switch of a DNA
Depressor
A protein that attaches to the Operon and disables RNA polymerase attaching
Regulatory gene
A gene where a the repressor protein is made
Core pressed
A thing that attaches to an repressor and turns it on
cAMP
A molecule that is an activator the is accumulated whe. Glucose is less
Inducer
Disables a corepressor
Activator
Simulates transcription
Differential gene expression
Difference between cell types
Histone acetylation
When the histones are separated by the acetylene and promotes transcription
DNA methylation
When methyl attaches to the cytosine and doesn’t promote transcription
Epigenetic inheritance
The things that are not passed on with replication but not histone and methylation
Control elements
Segments of noncoding DNA that particular sequences bind to
Enhancers
Distal control elements
Alternative RNA splicing
Where differnent exons are taken out
