To explain: The differences between induction and repression in prokaryotes.
Introduction: The induction and repression are the types of mechanisms opted by prokaryotes in order to regulate the expression of their genes. The regulatory components that control gene expression include operator, promotor, structural genes, RNA polymerase, repressors, and activators.
To explain: The use of induction and repression in prokaryotes to respond to changing nutrient supplies.
Introduction: The gene regulation in prokaryotes is controlled by both positive and negative regulatory mechanisms. The positive control mechanism involves positive regulators or activators to turn on the operon. In contrast, the negative control mechanism involves negative regulators or repressors to shut down the operon.
