Compare and Contrast How is the way Hox genes are expressed in mice similar and different to the way they are expressed in fruit flies
2 Use Analogies Write an analogy that demonstrates how the lac repressor functions
3 A hormone is a chemical that is produced in one part of the body, travels through the blood, and affects another part of the body. Many hormones are proteins. How might the production of a hormone affect the expression of genes in a eukaryotic cell? Write a hypothesis that could be tested to answer this question (include promoters in your hypothesis)

Bacteria and other prokaryotes do not need to transcribe all of their genes at the same time Saves time and resources Regulate with DNA binding proteins Turn genes “on” or “off.”

Transcription Factors
DNA-binding proteins Enhance transcription by opening up tightly
packed chromatin, attract RNA polymerase, or block access to certain genes
Attach to RNA polymerase before it binds to DNA.

Cell Specialization
Many eukaryotes are multicellular Different cells have very different job but yet all
have the same DNA.

RNA Interference
Small RNA molecules Not mRNA, rRNA, or tRNA
Get transcribed Fold over to become double stranded Enzyme called the “Dicer” enzyme cuts, or dices,
these double-stranded loops into microRNA (miRNA)
Two strands separate.

Environmental Influences
Presence of lactose in E. coli Bullfrog metamorphosis depends on conditions - a
drying pond, a high density of predators, low amounts of food- tadpoles may speed up their metamorphosis.
