Gene Regulation

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

If someone recited the ATCG sequence of their DNA without taking a break, they would speak for 57 years. High school pupils learn three new terms related to gene regulation: regulatory gene, regulatory sequence, and promoter. Individuals then explore examples of gene regulation in bacteria, with both positive and negative responses, as well as examples in eukaryotic organisms.
