1. A gene is expressed when it is
a.
b.
c.
d.
present in the genome of an individual.
prevented from interacting with RNA polymerase.
transcribed into mRNA.
duplicated during the replication of DNA.
2. In the lac operon of E. coli, lactose functions as
a. a promoter.
b. an operator.
c. a repressor protein
d. an inducer.
3. In eukaryotic cells, transcription occurs
a. on parts of the DNA that are uncoiled.
b. only on introns.
c. only on exons.
d. on all parts of the DNA.
4. Unlike gene expression in prokaryotes, gene expression in eukaryotes
a.
b.
c.
d.
cannot be regulated before transcription has occurred.
can be regulated after transcription has occurred.
does not involve promoters.
involves the transcription of groups of genes called operons.
5. Enhancers
a. code for proteins called inducers.
b. must be located close to the genes
they activate.
c. are found only in prokaryotic genomes.
d. facilitate transcription by binding to
transcription factors.

SHORT ANSWER Answer the questions in the space provided.
1. What is an operon, and in what type of organism are operons found?
2. Describe what occurs during activation of the lac operon.
3. Describe what occurs during repression of the lac operon.
4. Critical Thinking How does the absence of a nuclear envelope in prokaryotes prevent
prokaryotes from controlling gene expression by modifying RNA after transcription?
