Eukaryotic

Eukaryotic refers to cells that have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, distinguishing them from prokaryotic cells, allowing for more complex biological processes.

Prokaryotic

Describing organisms, such as bacteria and archaea, that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles in their cells.

Repressor Protein

A protein that binds to specific DNA sequences, thereby inhibiting the transcription of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA.

RNA Synthesis

The process by which ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules are created from DNA templates in cells, essential for gene expression and regulation.
