Q

Repressor

A

A transcription factor that blocks rna polymerase from transcribing dna

17
Q

Operon

A

Group of genes controlled by a promoter

18
Q

Lac operon

A

Bacteria makes lactase only when lactose is present

19
Q

Lac operon

A

Lactose binds to Repressor, changes shape of Repressor and falls off so rna polymerase can attach

20
Q

Trp operon

A

Bacteria make tryptophan(amino acid) unless they get it from their surroundings

21
Q

Trp operon

A

Tryptophan attaches to Repressor, changing shape so Repressor binds to dna, rna polymerase cannot attatch

22
Q

Histones

A

Protiens that dna wraps tightly around

23
Q

Genetic transformation

A

Foreign dna is out into a cell

24
Q

Plasmid

A

Small circular pieces of dna in bacteria, easy for scientists to apply Protiens it doesn’t naturally make

25
Q

Plasmid map

A

Shows all of the genes on a plasmid

26
Q

Restriction wnzymes

A

Cut the dna at specific sequences of nucleotides
