Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 16P
Genes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes are regulated by activators and repressors.
| a. | Compare and contrast the mechanism of function of a prokaryotic repressor (for example, Lac repressor) with a typical eukaryotic repressor protein (a direct repressor). |
| b. | Compare and contrast the mechanism of function of a prokaryotic activator (for example, CAP) with a typical eukaryotic activator protein. |

The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.arrow_forwardnot use ai pleasearrow_forward
