Summary Introduction

To determine:

The effect of mutation in an operon if regulator protein is a repressor of a repressible operon.

Introduction:

An operon is defined as a group of genes that have a common promoter and regulator and also transcribed as a single unit. This transcription results in the production of single mRNA which encodes several types of proteins. Mutation in an operon changes the gene expression. This mutation either lead to constitutively expression of gene or prevent the transcription of gene.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The effect of mutation in an operon if regulator protein is a repressor of an inducible operon.

An operon is defined as a group of genes that have a common promoter and regulator and also transcribed as a single unit. This transcription results in the production of single mRNA which encodes several types of proteins. Mutation in an operon changes the gene expression.
