Journal Entry:
How does gene expression differ between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Learning Intentions
We will learn the difference in how prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells express genes.
We will learn to identify type of operon, parts of an operon and describe how an operon works.
We will learn how to analyze a simulation of an operon to analyze how the different parts interact.
Closing Task:
You can identify type of operon and important components of an the operon based on how it is working.
Content Standards being covered:
Topics:
IST-2.A Describe the types of interactions that regulate gene expression
IST-2.B Explain how the location of regulatory sequences relates to their
function.
IST-2.C Explain how the binding of transcription factors to promoter regions
affects gene expression and/or the phenotype of the organism.
IST-2.D Explain the connection between the regulation of gene expression and
phenotypic differences in cells and organisms.
