gene regulation ppt

This gene controls the operator gene in cooperation with a chemical substance called inducer present in the cytoplasm. A regulator gene is not necessarily adjacent to the operator gene which it controls. The regulator gene codes..

Genes do not operate to produce enzymes all the time. Each gene is normally more or less repressed (inactive); but, when a particular enzyme is needed, the relevant gene becomes active to bring about the production of that enzyme. A totally active gene ..

Gene Regulation in Prokaryotes - Bacteria cells can regulate the synthesis of enzymes in such a way that the enzymes are produced only when the substrates which these enzyme utilise are present in the ce..

Summary - Protein synthesis is a controlled process in which a given protein is synthesised in the cell only when it is necessary. When a particular protein is to be synthesised the specific gene has to express and initiate transcription. The mechanism that stimulates the expression of ce..

Introduction - Genes do not operate to produce enzymes all the time. Each gene is normally more or less repressed (inactive); but, when a particular enzyme is needed, the relevant gene becomes active to bring about the production of that enzyme. A totally active g..

In eukaryotes, the genes that code for the enzymes needed to catalyse the various steps of a particular metabolic pathway may not be adjacent or even be in different chromosomes. However, these genes are regulated by operon model as in bacteria. Both the inducible and ..

Bacteria cells can regulate the synthesis of enzymes in such a way that the enzymes are produced only when the substrates which these enzyme utilise are present in the ce..

An operon is the unit of transcription. When excess protein is present, it is no longer economical for the cell to use up its energy and materials in the synthesis of enzymes that are not immediately needed. Hence, the protein synthesis is stopped. This is clearly advantageous for the cel..

This gene is located adjacent to the operator gene. It has two functions. 1.The promoter gene marks the site at which the RNA polymerase enzyme binds. When the operator gene is turned on, the enzyme moves over the operator gene to reach the structu..

Hormones are informational molecules. They are secreted in response to changes in the environment inside or outside the body. These are released into the extracellular fluid, where they are diffused into the blood stream. The latter carries them from the site of production to the site of action. Th..
