Regulation of Gene ActivityLearning Outcomes13.1 Prokaryotic Regulation - Describe the structure of an operon and state the role of each component of the operon.
- Explain how the trp and lac operons of prokaryotes are regulated.
- Distinguish between positive and negative regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes.
13.2 Eukaryotic Regulation - List the levels of control of gene expression in eukaryotes.
- Summarize how chromatin structure may be involved in regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes.
- Identify the mechanisms of transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and translational control of gene expression.
13.3 Gene Mutations - Distinguish between spontaneous and induced mutations.
- Identify how mutations influence protein structure.
- Summarize how mutations may cause cancer.
