Study Notes
Overview
- Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used to produce a functional product, typically a protein.
- Regulation of gene expression is crucial for cell differentiation, adaptation, and development in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Objectives
- Understand the structure of genes in prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes.
- Recognize the roles of cis-acting and trans-acting elements in gene regulation.
- Explore the manipulation of gene functions to benefit mankind, with a focus on fisheries.
Gene Expression and Regulation
- Prokaryotic genes are typically organized in operons, allowing coordinated expression.
- Eukaryotic genes have more complex structures, including introns and exons, and require additional regulatory elements.
- Cis-acting elements are DNA sequences that regulate nearby genes, such as promoters and enhancers.
- Trans-acting factors are proteins, like transcription factors, that bind to cis-acting elements to regulate gene expression.
Activities
- Study Module 4: Basic Principles of Genetic Engineering for further understanding of genetic manipulation techniques.
- Create 10 multiple-choice questions based on the module and submit via email by the specified deadline.
Announcements
- Attend a lecture via Google Meet.
- Participate in a quiz conducted through Google Form covering Module 4, scheduled for the specified date and time.
