(regulatory gene, inducer, promoter, genes of an operon, repressor, operator, operon)1. A(n) ______is 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.2. The ______ is/are arranged sequentially after the promoter.3. A(n) ________ is a specific nucleotide sequence in DNA that binds RNA polymerase, positioning it to start transcribing RNA at the appropriate place.4. A(n) _____ codes for a protein, such as a repressor, that controls the transcription of another gene or group of genes.5. Regulatory proteins bind to the _______ to control expression of the operon.6. A(n) ______ is a protein that inhibits gene transcription. In prokaryotes, this protein binds to the DNA in or near the promoter.7. A(n) _______ is 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.
