- Figure 9.17 Which of the following statements about quorum sensing is false? Autoinducer must bind to receptor to turn on transcription of genes responsible for the production of more autoinducer. The receptor stays in the bacterial cell but the autoinducer diffuses out. Autoinducer can only act on a different cell: it cannot act on the cell in which it is made. Autoinducer turns on genes that enable the bacteria to form a biofilm.arrow_forward1.

- Describe how P1vir transduction can be used to introduce a gene mutation into E. coli. Use your own diagrams to aid your answer. Remember to refer to the figure in the text. You should describe / show both the molecular biology and the transduction procedure. Tip: BioRender is excellent to create figures.arrow_forwardSequence the steps to transfect and observe a fluorescent protein in a slice of the brain: * Place the slice of brain under the microscope and observe it. * Wait for the expression of the fluorescent protein by the transfected cells. * Harvest and culture a slice of brain. * Electropore in the slice a plasmid coding for a fluorescent protein.arrow_forward. The tryptophan operon is usually in the _______position and is inhibited by a/an_______ molecule. on, repressor off, inducer on, inducer off, repressorarrow_forward
