Investigation: Gene Switches in Stickleback Fish is shared under a not declared license and was authored, remixed, and/or curated by LibreTexts. Students interpret molecular diagrams and build physical models of eukaryotic gene regulation. Activators present in a particular tissue bind to a specific sequence on the DNA and turn Pitx1 on in the appropriate tissues. The Pitx1 DNA of marine stickleback fish contains a pelvic switch, while the Pitx1 DNA of freshwater stickleback fish does not. This lesson is designed for high school biology (general bio and especially AP/IB) and introductory college The activator or repressor protein acts like the hand that flips the switch, but it can only turn the switch on or off if it can bind to the specific DNA sequence. During development, different sets of genes need to be turned on and off in the right places, at the right times, and in the right sequence for bodies to be built correctly. The PITX1 protein is also found in the developing pituitary gland, which is a hormone-producing gland located at the base of the brain, and in an embryonic structure called the branchial arch. Other proteins play a role in these regulatory regions. Mediators are labeled and clearly represented. Regulating Evolution.
