Lac operon
- B.
Lactose regulating gene and their control elements
- C.
Genes that regulate the breakdown of the disaccharide lactose plus the regulatory sequences near them
- D.

- 8.A (an) ________ is a small RNA molecule that is part of a RISC and binds precisely to an mRNA and results in its cleavage.
- 9.A (an) ________ is a small RNA molecule that is part of a RISC and binds imprecisely to an mRNA and turns off its translation.
- 10.When __________ occurs, a gene's pre-mRNA can result in the synthesis of two different polypeptides.
