Gene Regulation Concepts Flashcards

Q
Epigenome
A
Uses Methylation and Acetylation to make DNA accessible or inaccessible
2
Q
Transcription Factors
A
Controls whether genes turn on or off based on whether activators can bind to the enhancer sequences
3
Q
Alternative Splicing
A
Determines which proteins are made from which gene by changing which exons remain in an mRNA strand
4
Q
Operons
A
determines which genes are turned on under certain conditions (on/off switch)
