Explanation:

• Gene Regulation:
• Transcription factor: Proteins that bind to DNA and control gene expression.
• Promoter: A DNA sequence where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription.
• Lac operon: A classic example of gene regulation in bacteria.
• Repressor: A protein that binds to the operator region of an operon and inhibits transcription.
• Biotechnology:
• CRISPR: A revolutionary gene - editing technology.
• Cloning: The process of creating genetically identical copies of an organism or cell.
• Gel electrophoresis: A technique used to separate DNA, RNA, or proteins based on size.
• PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction): A method to amplify specific DNA sequences.

Answer:

• Gene Regulation: Transcription factor, Promoter, Lac operon, Repressor
• Biotechnology: CRISPR, Cloning, Gel electrophoresis, PCR
