A mutation that inactivates the repressor gene of the lac operon results in (a) the continuous transcription of the structural genes (b) no transcription of the structural genes (c) the binding of the repressor to the operator (d) no production of RNA polymerase (e) no difference in the rate of transcription
IPTG (isopropylthiogalactoside) is commonly used to induce protein expression in Lac operon-regulated gene in E. Coli, because IPTG a. is a repressor to Lac operon. O b. is an enhancer binding compound. O C. O d. unwinds DNA, leading to DNA duplication and transcription. is a mimetic of allolactose, that binds to repressor, causing it release from the operator of the lac operon, leading to transcription.
d. give an example of an operon that is under negative control e. repressor f. give an example of a repressor molecule g. activator h. give an example of an activator
A mutation that inactivates transcription and translation from the regulatory gene of an inducible operon could result in: Group of answer choices A inactivation of RNA polymerase. B irreversible binding of the repressor to the operator. C three of these choices are correct D inhibition of transcription of the structural genes within the operon. E two of these choices are correct F transcription of the structural genes within that operon.
The lac operon controls lactose metabolism in bacteria. Predict the phenotype of a LacP mutation. • A. The lac genes would be expressed efficiently only in the absence of lactose. • B. The lac genes would be expressed efficiently only in the presence of lactose. • C. The lac genes would be expressed continuously. O D. The lac genes would never be expressed efficiently.
If lactose isn't present in the environment of an E. coli, what is the state of the lac operon? O a. It is "on" (high transcription) because will glucose will still be present, so the operon's products will be needed. O b. It is "on" (high transcription) because CAP will be bound to the promoter O c. It is "off" (no transcription) because RNA polymerase will be inactivated d. It is "off" (no transcription) and the repressor will be bound to the operator
Part A If E. coll bacteria are placed in an environment that contains both glucose and lactose, the regulation of the lac operon will allow which nutrient to be processed first? ONether will be processed in this environment O Both will be processed at the same time. Glucose O Not enough is known about the regulation of the lac operon to know which nutrient will be processed first Lactose Submit Request Answer
All of the following statements about the repressor of the lac operon of E. coli are true EXCEPT which one? O A. The repressor is the product of a regulatory gene i The repressor binds to the operator region of the DNA of the lac OB. operon. The repressor is a protein. OC. The repressor interacts with the operator in such a way as to OD. prevent translation of beta-galactosidase. The repressor can combine with lactose to form a OE. complex that will no longer bind to the operator region. QUESTION 32 The amino acid which is a precursor of serotonin is Histidine OA. O B. Tyrosine O C. Glutamate D. Tryptophan O E. none of the above
