- Why it is essential to the positive stimulation of transcription of the lac operon ?arrow_forwardWhat is the phenotype of an E. coli strain with a mutation in the lac operator that allows the lac repressor to irreversibly bind the operator? Assume glucose is absent. 1S A) O Transcription of the operon is very high whether lactose is present or not. B) O Transcription of the operon is very low whether lactose is present or not. C) O Transcription of the operon is high in the presence of lactose, and low in its absence. D) O Transcription of the operon is low in the presence of lactose, and high in its absence.arrow_forwardGiven the Table below concerning the lac operon, match the letter with what would be occurring for each scenario. Repressor is bound to the operator, cAMP complex is bound and transcription is prevented. Allolactose is bound to the repressor, cAMP complex is bound, and transcription is prevalent. Allolactose is bound to the repressor, cAMP complex is not assembled, and transcription is slow Repressor is bound to the operator, cAMP complex is not assembled, and transcription is prevented.arrow_forward
- What would happen to the regulation of the tryptophan operon in bacterial cells that express a mutant form of the tryptophan repressor that (1) cannot bind to DNA, (2) cannot bind tryptophan, or (3) binds to DNA even in the absence of tryptophan?arrow_forwardTryptophan (Trp) attenuation is an extra mechanism of regulation of trp operon when trp level is too high. Attenuation causes premature transcription termination. b) Predict what will happen if trp repressor lose its allosteric effect.arrow_forwardThe transcription of many bacterial genes relies on functional groups called operons, such as the tryptophan operon. What is an operon?arrow_forward
- What does the lac operon consist of? How is the operator switch turned on and off in the expression of genes in this operon? Explain.arrow_forwardIf glucose levels in the cell are high and lactose is available from the environment, what is the status of transcription of the lac operon genes? Explain your answer from both an evolutionary perspective and in terms of negative and positive regulation of the operon?arrow_forwardWhich of the following lac operon genotypes would allow for functional versions of all the structural enzymes of the lac operon to be expressed constitutively even in the absence of lactose?
