1. a(n) blankis a stretch of dna consisting of an operator, a promoter, and genes for a related set of proteins, usually making up an entire metabolic pathway.target 1 of 7 2. theblankis/are arranged sequentially after the promoter.target 2 of 7 3. a(n) blankis a specific nucleotide sequence in dna that binds rna polymerase, positioning it to start transcribing rna at the appropriate place.target 3 of 7 4. a(n) blankcodes for a protein, such as a repressor, that controls the transcription of another gene or group of genes.target 4 of 7 5. regulatory proteins bind to the blankto control expression of the operon.target 5 of 7 6. a(n) blankis a protein that inhibits gene transcription. in prokaryotes, this protein binds to the dna in or near the promoter.target 6 of 7 7. a(n) blankis a specific small molecule that binds to a bacterial regulatory protein and changes its shape so that it cannot bind to an operator, thus switching an operon on.
