What is a set of genes that determine a trait?
A piece of DNA which controls a trait is a gene variations of a gene are called alleles. If you mean "controls how much a particular trait is expressed" then you would be dealiung with the promoter region of a gene which is near the start and controls how strongly a gene is expressed.
What does non coding RNA mean?
The non-coding sections of a gene are known as introns. The coding sections of a gene are known as exons.
What region of the operon does the repressor bind to?
I assume you mean the lac operon. The repressor binds upstream of the gene(s) in the regulatory gene region.
What does differential gene expression mean?
The process by which different cells express different genes depending on their needs is called differential gene expression
What does it mean when someone carries the sickle cell gene but does not have the disease?
If you carry the sickle cell gene, it doesn't really mean much as far as your own personal health goes. Except that you are less likely to get malaria. However, if you decide to have kids, and whoever you mate with also carries the sickle cell gene (not the full blown disease/gene) , your child has a chance of having sickle cell disease (full blown).
