Control of Gene Expression

• Cloning: making an
identical copy of
something (asexual
reproduction)
• Reproductive
cloning: technology
that produces
genetically identical
individuals

Gene Regulation in Prokaryotic Cells:
E. coli
© Cengage Learning 2015 Figure 10-8 p170
Transcription factor: Protein that influences transcription
by binding to DNA
Repressor: Shut off or slow down transcription
Operator: In prokaryotes, DNA binding site for repressor

Gene Regulation in Eukaryotic
Cells: Differentiation

All somatic cells possess a full set of
genetic code
Regeneration
(Cells are able to
de-differentiate
and then
regenerate new
individual)

Gene Regulation in Eukaryotes
Activators:
Increase rate of
transcription
Enhancer:
Binding site for
activator

Master Gene: products affect expression
of many other genes
• Homeotic gene: master gene that controls
formation of a body part

Results of gene control in eukaryotes
• X chromosome Inactivation (and formation
of Barr bodies) in females
X chromosome inactivation creates the black and orange
patches on a calico cat
