What is the effect of an increased Cro concentration on the expression of the gene for the λ repressor? Of an increased concentration of λ repressor on the expression of the Cro gene? Of an increased concentration of λ repressor on the expression of the λ repressor gene?
How does the 4 feature of transcription factors namely the structural motifs of DNA binding protein, activation domains, multiple transcription factors and enhancers help in the design of a building block tool.

O Protein repressors only prevent the synthesis of a single splice variant of a gene. O RNA repressors bind directly to nucleotide sequences in genes, preventing their transcription. O Protein repressors are inherently unstable, so they degrade quickly and do not completely repress genes. O Synthesis of RNA repressors is less energetically costly than that of protein repressors.arrow_forward

After addition of 200M of arginine to the cell, you, at 2:45 pm, measured intracellular arginine levels to be still at 100M.
