Group Project:

Chapter 11: The Control of Gene Expression

Pictures and words are needed to explain your answers.

1)      Describe the function of the homeotic gene. 

1b) Design an animal and show how a mutation in the homeotic gene caused a problem in the design.

2)      Use a flow chart to explain how cloning of an animal could be accomplished.  Do not copy the exact images and wording from the text.

3)      Gene expression is regulated by turning transcription on and off.  E. Coli changes its activities from time to time based on its environment. 

Draw the DNA in a bacterium.  Label the parts and explain the functions.  Then explain how the bacterium turns transcription on and off based on its environment.  (Make up your own environment, such as fructose, glucose…Do not use lactose or tryptophan as stated in the text)
