If lactose and glucose are provided in the growth medium of a culture of E. coli, then   a. Both lactose and glucose are metabolized at same rate.   b. Lactose metabolism is favored.   c. CAMP-CAP complex binds CAP site.    d. Lac Operon is repressed.   e. Adenylate cyclase is activated.

Which of the following statements about trp operon regulation is TRUE? A. Low trp levels result in trp repressor binding. O B. High trp levels result in transcriptional antitermination. C. Low trp levels cause the ribosome to fall off at the trp codons in the upstream ORF. O D. High trp levels cause the ribosome to fall off at the trp codons in the upstream ORF. O E. Low trp levels result in transcriptional antitermination. QUESTION 34 Consider the following partial diploid for the lac operon system. lacl+ O+ lac Z+Y-A- lacls O+ 1. 2. lac Z-Y+ A+ In this configuration, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. With no lac present, ZYA will all be expressed. B. with lac present none of the genes (ZYA) will be expressed. O C. With no lac present, only YA will be expressed. D. None of these answers is correct. E. With no lac present, only Z will be expressed.

A mutation occurs in the lac operon operator site such that LacI can no longer bind to the operator site. The effect that this mutation has on the cell is that a. the activity of the lac operon will not be affected. b. the cell can no longer convert lactose to glucose. c. the expression of the lac genes cannot be turned off. d. the expression of the lac genes cannot be turned on.

If there is a mutation in importin that prevents it from interacting with the NLS of cargo proteins, what affect, if any, would this have on the UPR (unfolded protein response). A. Ran-GEF would bind to the importin promoting cargo entry into the nucleus and transcription of UPR response genes. B. Gene regulatory protein would not be imported into the nucleus thus preventing transcription of UPR response genes C. MRNA would not be imported into the nucleus thus preventing transcription of UPR response genes D. Ran-GTP would not be imported to the nucleus thus preventing transcription of UPR response genes E. No effect, these are completely unrelated processes.
