Chapter 26, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction

(a) Interpretation:

The kind of mutation in the plasmid operon should be determined which shows the given effect.

Concept introduction:

Mutagenesis is defined as the process through which DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that contains genetic information of an organism gets altered. The alteration in the genetic information results in a mutation. Mutation can be the result of any of the following:

  1. Spontaneously occur in nature.
  2. Exposure to mutagens.
  3. Using laboratory procedures.

Interpretation Introduction

(b) Interpretation:

Type of plasmid gene mutation that shows the result of transformation was to cause the three plasmid lac genes to be expressed constitutively, at a high level should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Mutagenesis is defined as the process through which DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that contains genetic information of an organism gets altered. The alteration in the genetic information results in a mutation. Mutation can be the result of any of the following:
