Summary Introduction

To determine:

The regulator gene of operon that exhibit positive inducible control produced an active or an inactive activator protein.

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.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What would most likely turn transcription on.

Introduction:

Transcription is a process by which the DNA strand is transcribed into mRNA. One strand of DNA molecule act as a template on which the complementary base pairing occurs and a strand of mRNA is formed. An operon is defined as a group of genes that have a common promoter and regulator and also transcribed as a single unit.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What about an operon with positive control that was repressible.

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. Operons are two types inducible operons and repressible operons.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What would cause the transcription off.

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 the  single mRNA which encodes several types of proteins.
