Gene Expression and Regulation

Join the Amoeba Sisters as they discuss gene expression and regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This video defines gene expression and explains how gene expression relates to gene regulation before going into examples of gene regulation that can involve or impact transcription, translation, and post-translation. Operons, which are common in prokaryotes, are also mentioned. The video also emphasizes that eukaryotes have many opportunities for gene regulation while prokaryotes tend to have gene regulation focused on transcription.
