model
Provided Model for how inducible genes are regulated and distinct from constitutive (housekeeping) genes. Environmental signals induce transcription factors and cofactors to provide a helping hand in loading the transcription machinery. Otherwise they remain poised and ready, awaiting the signal. Most genes are constitutive and lack this helping hand, so they can only be transcribed infrequently.
