Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bacterial gene regulatory system typically includes a coding sequence (A) for the gene product, an operator (B) where regulatory proteins can bind to control the expression of the gene, and a ribosome recognition site (E), such as a Shine-Dalgarno sequence, for initiating translation. Bacteria generally do not have introns (C) in their genes, and a motor (D) is not a component of a gene regulatory system.
