Under AAMC Biology section 1B "Control of Gene Expression in Prokaryotes" it says we should know "positive control in bacteria."
When I was studying microbio, I remember we had also talked about positive vs negative control , and then the difference between an inducible vs repressible system.
That section of the outline just states "positive control" but I'd figure the opposite of that, negative control, must be just as important? And to a lesser extent maybe the definitions of inducible vs repressible.
So I guess my question is, how closely does AAMC adhere to its outline. Do they just want me to know only about positive control and really this question goes beyond just this bacteria topic, in general is it safe to just stick to what the outline wants us to know?
Thanks
