Gene Expression and the Order of the Operon

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Looks aren't everything. According to my biology teacher, it's what is inside you that really matters. The video explains gene expression and regulation in prokaryotes using the Order of the Operon. It includes a description of the promoter, operator, repressor, and the gene that codes for the repressor.
