The goal of this simulation activity is to help students understand how prokaryotes control gene expression. This activity will simulate an inducible operon called the lac operon used to control the expression of genes that control lactose levels in bacteria. The accompanying simulation can be found here: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/gene-machine-lac-operon
