    Simultaneous detection of expression of five genes in a whole mount Drosophila embryo

    by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with five RNA probes.

    What is meant by gene expression?

    What does this picture show us about gene expression?

    The lac Operon

    Terms:

    allolactase (inducer), -galactosidase, DNA, inactive

    repressor, lacA, lacI, lacoperon, lacY, lacZ, mRNA,

    permease, protein, RNA polymerase, transacetylase

    The lac operon is an

    inducible operon.

    Why

    group

    these

    genes?

    Who discovered the

    operon model for

    gene expression?

    The trp Operon

    Cells can adjust

    the activity ofenzymes that

    are already

    present. Cells can adjust

    the production

    level of

    enzymes.
