klmjnmkj · Answer

i think its the promoter

fentyf4iry · Answer

i found this in quora i think it might help! - According to the requirements the gene has to turned on or off. E.g. when there is abundant glucose in the blood the insulin should secreat so that the cell uptake the glucose present outside.which means the gene which produces insulin has to turned on. If you take the simplest example of operon.
