Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers gene expression focusing on regulatory sequences (enhancers, silencers, promoters, terminators), epigenetic changes (DNA methylation, histone modification), phenotypes and cell differentiation, and coordinated regulation in prokaryotes (operons like lac and trp) and eukaryotes. It includes practice questions and emphasizes key terms and concepts relevant to the AP Biology exam.

Question 1 of 12

Which of the following regulatory sequences is the binding site for RNA polymerase and initiation factors? ๐Ÿš€

Enhancer

Silencer

Promoter

Terminator
