Gene Control in Prokaryotes

The highlight of this lesson plan is a 53-minute investigative video, Can Science Stop Crime?" The question asked is whether or not aggressive behavior is caused by genetic factors. The answer has to do with genetic complexity, the...

In this gene control in eukaryotes worksheet, students complete a table with information about the process of translation and transcription. Students also explain the process of post-transcription and the modifications involved.

So often, genetics worksheets focus on alleles and heredity. Here is one that focuses on the steps of the gene expression process. After reading a textbook chapter or listening to your lecture, AP biology buffs write short answers to...

After your biologists have learned about transcription, translation, and gene regulation, they work in a small group to create a poster of a system that serves as an analogy of the gene regulation process. They share their creations with...

What does it take to produce all of the proteins that make up a living organism? An amazing series of events! Biology novices review the steps of protein synthesis by breaking down transcription and translation in detail. Colorful...

Covering the molecular interactions involved with DNA packing and the control of gene activity in depth, this slideshow is useful for higher-level biology students. The biochemical components of protein translation are diagrammed and...

A nicely formatted set of slides that logically follow and define the structure and function of the genes in Bacteria. The repressor proteins and other gene regulators are listed and diagrams support the explanations of their function on...

The evolutionary process of the development of brains and their placement in the bodies of animals is the focus of a video that also discusses the genes that control the brain and the protections that developed along with it.

Looks aren't everything. According to my biology teacher, it's what is inside you that really matters. The video explains gene expression and regulation in prokaryotes using the Order of the Operon. It includes a description of the...

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...
