Gene Regulation and the Order of the Operon
Explore gene expression with the Amoeba Sisters, including the fascinating Lac Operon found in bacteria! Learn how genes can be turned "on" and "off" and why this is essential for cellular function. Check out our FREE video handouts on www.amoebasisters.com/handouts!
⭐We have a menu of our resources that complement our videos! Visit docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
The Amoeba Sisters videos demystify science with humor and relevance. The videos center on Pinky's certification and experience in teaching biology at the high school level. For more information about The Amoeba Sisters, visit: www.amoebasisters.com/about-us...
REFERENCES:
We cover the basics in biology concepts at the secondary level. If you are looking to discover more about biology and go into depth beyond these basics, our recommended reference is the FREE, peer reviewed, open source OpenStax biology textbook: openstax.org/details/books/bi...
Further Reading
As our pinned comment mentions, we cover basics with the goal of inspiring curiosity for more! There are so many important details to explore. For example, the conversion of lactose to allolactose, the cAMP-CAP conversion that stimulates the RNA polymerase, or the names of the different genes and their individual functions. We also don't mention that there are other factors that can affect the activation of this operon (such as glucose levels).

UPDATE: 1. Isn't it fascinating that, as mentioned, ALL of your DNA is found in your body cells, but genes can be turned "on" or "off?" We just want to to note: there are a few body cells that do not have *any* DNA though. Mature red blood cells or cornified epidermal cells for example. Always some fascinating exceptions in biology. 2. If you're studying the lac operon, we want to remind you that our video looks at basic concepts with the goal of inspiring to explore more. For example, we don't talk about the conversion of lactose to allolactose, the cAMP-CAP conversion that stimulates the RNA polymerase, or the names of the different genes and their individual functions. We also don't mention that there are other factors that can affect the activation of this operon (such as glucose levels). Check out the further reading details to explore more!

"Why do we even need to learn this strand if we're never going to use it!" This has to be the greatest biology/teacher joke of all time. Also, "You are here. You must be here to synthesize HCL" is a hilarious, immediately familiar way to describe the concept. As a 26 year old "adult" college student, I mostly watch these for super dorky biology humor that motivates me to get back into the dry stuff. Thank you!!
I am a senior in college and have watched many and many biology videos. your videos are exceptional and definitely the best. thank you so much
These videos are amazing! I enjoy the animations and the outstanding instruction for sure, but I especially appreciate you guys encouraging careers in science. Keep up the teaching, Amoeba Sisters, and I'll keep up the learning!
you are litlerally the sweetest things on earth and honestly your way of explaining is far easier to understand than the way we learn about this in class. that being said, i am completly lost
literally i paused my professor's lecture and just come to this channel for whatever topic we are on! so so grateful for this channel bc sis would be lost
I was having a hard time understanding the lac operon from either my cell bio or genetics classes. You simplified it so well that I can understand the material with confidence! Thank you Amoeba Sisters!!!
THIS CHANNEL REALLY IS SAVING MY LIFE IN COLLEGE RN THANK YOU!
Any NCERT guys watching this???

This was the most funny and easiest way to learn about lac operons. I tried to watch my professors video about it, but nothing was making sense and it was hard to focus. But this? This was absolutely chefs kiss. Thank you Amoeba Sisters, you now have a new fan and subscriber. I knew science could be fun and easy to learn.
YOOOOOOO, Ameoba Sisters out here getting me an "A" in Microbiology! Keep On Keepin On!
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF THIS MODEL ...well...now i have to learn the details but I finally understand it at all 😭😭✌ thank youuu~ (kinda funny that I understand an english video but i don't understand this model by videos in german/my native languages)
I love this so much! This is such a great and fun way to learn. The cartoons are funny, but at the same time they explain the functions of each part of the process and make it so easy to remember! Thank you!
I've read this (lac operon) in my textbook at least 5 times and never understood it until just now in a short 6 minute video. Thank you so much for existing.
I just graduated college and am preparing for my MCAT and this explained operons better than anything I have studied in the past 4 years. You're a godsend.
This is what reminds me that learning is supposed to be fun and interesting, thank you so much!!!
I never comment on videos but this was a lifesaver. In six minutes I have learned what an hour long lecture confused me on. This channel can make anything learnable.
I can't believe how easy to learn, detailed and fun this was! Thank you!
Thank you for making these types of videos!!!!! Your video makes gene regulation sooo much easier to understand...I am also a college student who needed help understanding this material for my biology final, and now because of this video I understand! Keep on making these videos, great job!!!:)
loved every part of this! It was so hard for me to get what was going on and how the lac operon works, the drawings help as you explain whats going on. I like that each key character had their own personality to help remember what does what. Thank you! Studying for physiology final for this week. :D You guys rock!
Can’t thank you enough for helping me understand all the material. Very easy and fun explanations. Love it.
Thank God, thank KZread. We would have been nothing without you.
I have been using these videos for my special education students and they love the colors and little characters. Thank you for being so creative introducing a tough concepts to students who don't always understand. I alos like how there is a worksheet to go with the videos. They work!!
You're awesome. I'm in a molecular genetics class now (as an engineering student, so very little biology background) and this honestly cleared up quite a few things for me!
Wow, keep doing what you do. Every other youtube video I searched on this was so difficult to understand because it was so technical. This animation, though, was extremely helpful and made it so simple to understand. THANK YOU!
You make things so much easier to understand! You are definitely a great teacher and a great person because you upload these videos for free just to help other people. Amazing. Thank you very much. Keep on sharing the knowledge you have. Best wishes xx
wow you guys are awesome I'm studying for my masters in diagnostics and watching your videos have really given me a very good understanding of the topics.Thank you amoeba sisters ,long life, health and more video!!!lol.
Wow! Thanks a lot! I really needed that! I wish they would make an updated version of this though. I LOVE AMOEBA SISTERS! A Fan of their Creative, Educational and Fun Work.
These videos are seriously the best. I watch these before I read my biology chapters and it makes the reading a breeze! Thank you so much
5:26 “NOOOO! I should have let you block the thing!” I’m wheezing😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am 20 Years old And this is The First Video i've watched from this Channel And i have to say it was absolutely lovely! I genuinely laughed about the lactose regretting thing! And it's even very good to learn with! Keep the good work up!
I found your videos when I was searching for an video about genetics,and it's easy to understand,thank you for creating awesome videos!😊
I love your videos ! They always help me understand stuff like this better in biology! Plus, you make it interesting and funny to watch. :P Can you do a video on trp operon and the 4 controls of gene control in eukaryotes? Thank you :)
my science teacher makes us watch this after the first time of watching amoeba sisters I was hooked.
The video does what It needs to, but I think an update would be nice as the audio in later videos improved immensely.
Thank you very much! I used this to help me study for a science test. I enjoy your type of humor and the animation is also helpful.
You guys deserve a medal! Your videos are fantastic!! Please make more :) From a happy first year biochemistry student.

Thanks so much! The level of detail is perfect tbh. Most of the channels I find go into very shallow depth about different topics. This was just enough depth, talking about the way the repressor actually works and can get configured when a lactose molecule binds to it, without simply glossing over it !
That's my first time watching a video of this channel and I loved the entertaining way it helpes me lot , thank you
This video explained a very confusing concept in a simple way . I really appreciate the efforts that were put in to carefully build up the concept .
I was struggling to understand the lac operation from my textbook and this 6 min video was so easy to follow. Thank you!
after my biology lecture, i go to my room and watch this to reteach myself what we discussed in class lol i learn so much mire from you guys
bless up this video. this video, in less than ten minutes, taught me what my teacher could not teach the class in an hour and a half. THANK YOU
Thx for every single video. This is 6 years old and is still amazing. Please continue to make such awesome videos 😊
I subscribed to you guys when I was in high school and you were a huge help. Now I’m in college and you’re still a huge help!!!! Thank youuu😭😭😭❤️
OH MY GOD YAAASSS YOU GUYS ARE LIFE SAVERS. I absolutely loved this, so simply but covers the important stuff. A+!
you two need an award! anytime I don't understand something I look for your videos.
I don't know what I would do without the amoeba sisters, keep up the good work!!! 😉😉
You seriously deserve more views. Im a visual learner so this was extremely helpful. THANK YOU!!
its so amazing..... the way you breakdown each concept and tell it as a bed time story....it was very helpful...keep making videos like this...lots of love
man as a microbiology student and the bad education system That I have in my country this channel has helped me so much and was an important key to joining the microbiology department in the first place thank you so much
This video is the most unique and interactive video I have ever watched. PLEASE keep making more videos.
Have I watched this video 4 times to understand? Yes. Am I learning more from the Amoeba Sisters than from my Psychobiology class? Also, yes. You are life saviors!!!
I loved this channel in high school and still love it in university! Great job Amoeba Sisters!!!
this is probably the best explanation of gene regulation ive come across so far! Ive got exams tomorrow and found this really really awesome!
I FOREVER THANK THE AMOEBA SISTERS FOR SIMPLIFYING COMPLEX COLLEGE LECTURES FOR ME 😭😭😭😭
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! It’s the night before a big biology test and I just couldn’t wrap my head around the lac operon process. This video helped me so much!!!
This is the best video ever, literally amazing visuals and understood the process in 6 minutes.
Thank you Amoeba Sisters!!! You're really saving my life in high school and making me love biology 🥰
English is my second language but these videos have helped me so much to understand these concepts. Keep on with the good work and thanks! :) I hope to see more videos from you.
I love that you made this so easy to understand! I wish you get massive amounts of success!
You people are really great..you are making these difficult concepts easy and convenient for students out there🙂
Promoter: "You are so talented! You can do anything if you bind here!" Lost it 😂 Love your content. I'm in a master's program with heavy bio without previous experience, these videos are really getting me through! And the added humor is so uplifting. Thank you!
I was soooo confused on operons but this video and the cute animations gave me a great visual to help me understand! Thank you
I'm a dental student and want to tell you that Your videos are amazing! I'm amazed at how you are able to make complex and difficult concepts so straight-forward. Thank you you for repeating the definition of terms during your videos. It really helps when you're learning the material.
I'm in 8th grade and this video is really helping me a lot! All the analogies keep the imformation stuck in my brain. Thank you so much Amoeba Sisters!
You explain science in the cutest way with the knowledge that is needed for us to learn. Thank you
this is the cutest way of explaining the most difficult concepts of high school biology.......thanks so much

Best. Video. Ever. I couldn't make sense of this from my book. You're amazing. please keep them coming.
i actually love the little drawings so much + i actually learnt alot from this video THANKS FOR THE AWESOME VIDEO
I really dont know how many videos and how oft I have watched your videos! I will start teaching and Im planning to exhibit it or recommend it (and of course to check on the next class if the kids really have watched - doing a seriuos "supressor protein face")... because the didatics is so perfect! well done Amy Sisters!!!
This is just a cute way of learning and understanding. We can remember the concept this way for a long time. A millions of thanks ❤ and best wishes to the creator of this channel. You're building futures of a lot of children in such a fascinating way. Loved the video 👍
DUDE. I had so much trouble studying this topic for an exam and this vid explained it to me beter than my professor's 3 hour lecture. My exam is tomorrow, i hope i do good 💪
Im taking my DAT in a month and honestly these videos have helped me SO MUCH.
