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
The tryptophan (trp) operon is a repressible system. This means the genes are normally expressed, but the presence of trp can repress the operon the genes are normally repressed the genes are normally expressed when trp is present the genes are normally repressed, but the presence of trp can activate the genes
What would occur if the repressor of an inducible operon were mutated so it could not bind the operator? Build up of a substrate wihin the pathway controlled by the operon Continuous transcription of the operon's genes Irreversible binding of the repressor to the promoter Reduced transcription of the operon's genes O O O O
In the tryptophan operon, tryptophan is considered a Group of answer choices coactivator inducer an enhancer corepressor an attenuator
In the absence of lactose, the genes of the lac operon are: Not transcribed; because there is no lactose to activate the polymerase Not transcribed; because there is no lactose to inhibit the repressor Transcribed; because there is no lactose to inhibit the repressor Transcribed; because there is no lactose to activate the repressor
According to the operon model, for the synthesis of an inducible enzyme to occur, the end-product must not be in excess an inducer must bind to the enzyme an inducer must bind to the repressor repressor must bind to the operator repressor must not be synthesized
Which of the following is true about the Lac operon? Group of answer choices An operon with a constitutive operator (O^C mutation) will transcribe in the presence of a super repressor It is a positive repressible operon that is influenced mainly by fluctuations in glucose levels Produces a large quantity of tryptophan in order to synthesize lactase It is found in eukaryotes and is responsible for creating an enzyme that breaks down lactose
What is a specific region in the trp operon that you could mutate so it expresses the trp operon in conditions of excess tryptophan. Why will this mutation cause this? Operon structure: promoter, operater, structural genes promoter - DNA region that is the site of RNA polymerase sigma binding and transcription initiation operator – DNA region that influences gene expression through its interaction with a protein (transcription factor) structural genes – gene whose expression is being regulated; encodes a polypeptide or functional RNA

When lactose is present lactose induces the activation of the genes in the lac operon by binding the repressor lactose represses the activation of the genes in the lac operon by binding the repressor lactose induces the activation of the genes in the lac operon by binding the operator lactose represses the activation of the genes in the lac operon by binding the operator
For an enzyme to be produced from an inducible operon, the repressor must bind to and digest the substrate. the substrate must bind to the repressor and remove it from the operator. the substrate must bind to the operator. the repressor must be bound to the operator.
A mutation at the operator site of a positive inducible operon that causes the sequence of the operator to change, would result in: Group of answer choices Activator unable to bind to DNA, transcription turned on Activator binds to DNA, transcription turned off Activator binds to DNA, transcription turned on Activator unable to bind to DNA, transcription turned off
