Genes Encoding Products That Regulate the Expression of Other Genes

Question

Genes encoding products that regulate the expression of other genes are known as
A) positive control genes.
B) negative control genes.
C) regulator genes.
D) transcriptional genes.
E) translatable genes.

Accepted Answer

Genes that regulate the expression of other genes are known as regulator genes. Positive control genes refer to genes that activate expression, while negative control genes inhibit expression. Transcriptional and translatable genes refer to genes involved directly in the process of transcription and translation, respectively.
