Regulatory "switches" are found upstream from a gene. Regulatory molecules bind to the switches and recruit RNA polymerase to bind to the gene's promoter region, increasing the transcription of the gene into messenger RNA.
A situation in which a cell or organism stops expressing one gene orgene group and switches to expressing a different gene or group of genes.
