6.5.B—Explain how the location of regulatory sequences relates to their function

Explain how the location of regulatory sequences relates to their function.

• Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have groups of genes that are coordinately regulated.
  • i. Prokaryotes regulate operons in an inducible or repressible system.
  • ii. In eukaryotes, groups of genes may be influenced by the same transcription factors to coordinately regulate expression. 119 Gene Expression and Regulation UNIT 6
