what is the difference between a promoter and a primer?
what is the difference between a promoter and a primer?
A primer can be all sorts of things - a short segment of DNA which allows DNA synthesis to proceed on the lagging strand, something used during the PCR reaction, etc.
A promoter is an area of a gene involved in its expression - the clue to what it does is in the name.

About the only thing they share is an initial letter.

- but without the OP giving us a bit more detail where the question has come from we're not quite sure what response is being sought.

Yes, that could be a difference between the two

In what sense? RNA polymerase attaches to the beginning of the gene?

Semi-relevant question, but what's the difference between an operator and promoter region (i.e. on an operon)? I written down that, as you've said, a promoter is the side where RNA polymerase binds for transcription, whilst the operator turns the genes on and off..? How does that work? I know that repressor proteins can bind to the control site, but beyond that I don't particularly understand operators..

Have a look at the lac operon - this is quite a common example.

I knew you'd like it - because you don't take yourself too seriously.. Hope they're going well.
