What is promoters and an operator together called?

Operon. It contains the promoter, operator, and the structural gene.


The operon segment composed of the gene that codes for a protein repressor is called the?

The operon segment composed of the gene that codes for a protein repressor is called the regulatory gene. This gene produces the repressor protein that can bind to the operator region of the operon, preventing transcription of the structural genes when the repressor is bound.


Four of the five answers listed below are features of the lactose operon Select the exception a regulator b terminator c operator d promoter e structural gene?

The "lac operon" is the unit of DNA in E.coli and other bacteria which is responsible for the metabolism of lactose. So with regards to the question above, its function is that of an operator.


What is the relationship between a gene and an operon?

A gene is a specific sequence of DNA that contains instructions for making a protein. An operon is a group of genes that are controlled and regulated together. In some cases, an operon can contain multiple genes, including the gene that codes for a specific protein. This means that a gene can be part of an operon, but not all genes are part of operons. The relationship between a gene and an operon is that a gene can be part of an operon, but an operon can contain multiple genes that work together to carry out a specific function.


What name is given to a cluster of genes with related functions along with their control sequences in bacteria?

Operon. An operon is a unit of DNA containing a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter. It includes the structural genes that code for proteins, as well as regulatory elements that control gene expression.

An operon is composed of?

An operon is a group of genes that operate together.Operon- a functioning unit of genomic DNA containing a cluster of genes under the control of a single regulatory signal or promoter.Operons are clusters of genes consisting of one operator and promoter. There are a lac operon, which is responsible for metabolism of glucose. And there is also the Trp operon, which is responsible for synthesising tryptophan.


Where do proper enzymes come from?

synthesized from coded information of gene


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.


How many promoters are there in the entire operon?

An operon typically has one promoter, which initiates the transcription of the genes within the operon.


What is the beginning of a gene is signaled by a region of DNA?

operon
