Structural Genes

Genes that code for proteins which serve as building blocks for cells and tissues or take part in chemical reactions within the organism.

Regulatory Sequences

DNA sequences that are involved in controlling the expression of genes, determining when and where genes are turned on or off.

Repressible Operon
