Answer:

Regulon

Explanation:

A regulon comprises of a group of operons that are controlled by the same regulatory protein referred to as a regulator which could act as a repressor or activator.

Regulons in bacterial cells are referred to as the fundamental unit of the response system. Regulons are majorly used when referring to prokaryotes that have their genome organized to operons, although this term is not limited to that. The genes that are found in a regulon are arranged into two or more operons at different regions on the chromosome.

Which step is first in translation
Natalija [7]

The steps in translation are: The ribosome binds to mRNA at a specific area. The ribosome starts matching tRNA anticodon sequences to the mRNA codon sequence. Each time a new tRNA comes into the ribosome, the amino acid that it was carrying gets added to the elongating polypeptide chain.

Adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are ___________________ instructions to cells.
const2013 [10]

DNA is essentially a storage molecule. It contains all of the instructions a cell needs to sustain itself. These instructions are found within genes, which are sections of DNA made up of specific sequences of nucleotides. In order to be implemented, the instructions contained within genes must be expressed, or copied into a form that can be used by cells to produce the proteins needed to support life.

The instructions stored within DNA are read and processed by a cell in two steps: transcription and translation. Each of these steps is a separate biochemical process involving multiple molecules. During transcription, a portion of the cell's DNA serves as a template for creation of an RNA molecule. (RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is chemically similar to DNA, except for three main differences described later on in this concept page.) In some cases, the newly created RNA molecule is itself a finished product, and it serves an important function within the cell. In other cases, the RNA molecule carries messages from the DNA to other parts of the cell for processing. Most often, this information is used to manufacture proteins. The specific type of RNA that carries the information stored in DNA to other areas of the cell is called messenger RNA, or mRNA.

How does transcription proceed?

Transcription begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA template strand and begins assembling a new chain of nucleotides to produce a complementary RNA strand. There are multiple types of types of RNA. In eukaryotes, there are multiple types of RNA polymerase which make the various types of RNA. In prokaryotes, a single RNA polymerase makes all types of RNA. Generally speaking, polymerases are large enzymes that work together with a number of other specialized cell proteins. These cell proteins, called transcription factors, help determine which DNA sequences should be transcribed and precisely when the transcription process should occur.

Without the rough er cells would ?
Degger [83]
There are two basic types of ER. Both rough ER and smooth ER have the same types of membranes but they have different shapes. Rough ER looks like sheets or disks of bumpy membranes while smooth ER looks more like tubes. Rough ER is called rough because it has ribosomes attached to its surface. 

<span>The double membranes of smooth and rough ER form sacs called </span>cisternae. Protein molecules are synthesized and collected in the cisternal space/lumen<span>. When enough proteins have been synthesized, they collect and are pinched off in </span>vesicles<span>. The vesicles often move to the Golgi apparatus for additional protein packaging and distribution. </span>

Smooth ER (SER)<span> acts as a storage organelle. It is important in the creation and storage of lipids and </span>steroids<span>. Steroids are a type of ringed organic molecule used for many purposes in an organism. They are not always about building the muscle mass of a weight lifter.
