Operons in gene regulation

Welcome back!  Only 7 weeks until the AP Bio Exam! :)

Today we are going to focus on Operons in gene regulation. 

Please go to cengage and log onto the on-line resources.  Go to the text book and read section 10.5 (pgs 170 & 171). There is also an animation -- "10.10 the lactose operon" that you can watch. Take some notes, highlight information, reacquaint yourself with Gene Control in Prokaryotes (this is something you should have already read).

Once you have a basic understanding of this concept, go to the PHET simulation for lac operons (remember you have to download the simulation in order for it to run), click here for the sheet you need to complete as you are working through the simulation, you may work in groups of 2 or 3 (not more) for this simulation activity.
