Concepts discussed in this module include the following:
transcriptional control in eukaryotes
operons: lac and tryp
cis mutations, trans mutations and complementation
repressible vs. inducible systems
hybridization and stringency
reverse transcriptase
genomic DNA vs.cDNA
structure and function of eukaryotic genes
eukaryotic vs. prokaryotic genes
repetitive DNA in eukaryotes
transposons in eukaryotes and how they may be significant in evolution
gene families
RNA processing in eukaryotes
regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes and the levels at which this control can occur
