An operon is a section DNA containing genes for proteins required for a specific metabolic pathway and it consists of an operator, promoter, regulatory gene, and genes coding for proteins. Gene regulation is the ability of an organism to control which genes are transcribed in response to the environment. Given a DNA sequence, know how to write the complementary sequence of DNA and know how to write the mRNA that can be transcribed from the original DNA sequence. Know how to write the properly balanced equation for the production of glucose during photosynthesis: 6H20 + 6CO2 C6H12O6 + 6O2 Know how to write the properly balanced equation for the respiration of glucose as a cell uses it for food to release energy: C6H12O6 + 6O2 6H20 + 6CO2
