Lac operon (Regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes)- lecture-2
Prokaryotes must use substances and synthesize macromolecules just fast enough to meet their needs. The genes for metabolizing enzymes are expressed only in the presence of nutrients. If the enzymes are not needed, genes are turned off. This allows for the conservation of cell resources. Controlling gene expression is one method of regulating metabolism. Bacteria […]
