Exposing Escherichia coli (e.coli) to ionizing radiation results in DNA damage. Say you perform an experiment and expose E. coli to increasing levels of ionizing radiation over time. After 180 minutes, all bacteria cells are found dead.
1. How do levels of LexA change over 180 minutes? Explain what is driving this change?
2. What changes in gene expression would occur over the course of the 180 minutes as a direct result of the changes in LexA levels? Detail how changing levels of LexA lead to such changes in gene expression.
