Gene Expression Control: Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
Control of Gene Expression in Prokaryotes
The repressor produced by the regulatory gene is associated with the operator area and prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing the structural genes. This operon functions as a system of enzyme induction, in which some molecules called inducers (in this case, lactose) are associated with repressors, causing changes in their structure. Consequently, the repressors lose affinity for the operator area, and RNA polymerase transcribes the structural genes. Other

Consonant Clusters
Stop + Stop: When one stop consonant is immediately followed by another, as in kept, the closure of the speech organs for the second consonant is made while the closure for the first consonant is still in position. There’s only one explosion for the two stops; the first stop is incomplete. This “missing explosion” happens whenever one stop consonant (except /tʃ/ and /dʒ/) is followed immediately by another, not only at the end of words but also in the middle of words, as in actor,
