Gene Regulation
in
prokaryotes and eukaryotes
, Lesson objectives
∙ Name the major regions of prokaryotic
and eukaryotic genes.
∙ Explain the working of the lac operon.
∙ Explain the regulation of genes in
eukaryotes.
, Quick Facts
• Cells are genetically identical (same
genetic material).
• But each cell types expresses only
certain genes.
• The expression of different genes by
cells with the same genome is called
differential gene expression.
• Gene expression is highly regulated
in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
