What happens if you replace the trp codons in the trp leader sequence with codons specifying Isoleucine? The cell will synthesize tryptophan when it is low on isoleucine The cell can't synthesize tryptophan at all The cell will synthesize Isoleucine when it is low on tryptophan O The cell will synthesize tryptophan when it is low on tryptophan
Prokaryotic cells can have more than one functional start codon per mRNA because There are multiple answers A prokaryotic promotes consist of two separated sequences: the -30 box and the -10 box B they make polycistronic RNA C both transcription and translation happen in the same cellular compartment D prokaryotic ribosomes bind to the Shine-Delgarno sequence E the activity of the lac repressor is regulated based on the physiologic condition of the cell
Mutations in the genes of the lac operon might affect the regulation of β-galactosidase synthesis. For each mutation listed below, indicating whether β-galactosidase would be regulated normally, always ON or always OFF. Mutation in operator site prevents repressor binding Mutation in lacIgene prevents repressor from binding operator Mutation in lacIgene prevents repressor from binding allolactose Nonsense mutation in lacZgenere
A loss of function mutation in the gene for the yeast regulatory protein GAL4 causes yeast to grow poorly on galactose. What is the function of GAL4? It is an enzyme that metabolizes galactose It is a transcriptional repressor that prevents expression of yeast galactose digesting enzymes. It is a product that binds and activates a transcriptional repressor. It is a transcriptional activator for the galactose-digesting enzyme genes. It is a substrate that binds and inactivates a transcriptional activator.
A mutation in the trp repressor gene that prevents the apo-repressor from binding the co-repressor What is the correct option from the choices below? causes the Trp repressor to permanently bind the trp operator. leads to a high level of transcription initiation from the trp promoter, even when tryptophan is present in the medium. does not lead to a high concentration of mRNA molecules that code for the structural genes trp E, D, C, B, A, when tryptophan is present in the medium, because attenuation of the operon will still work. a and b, but not c b and c, but not a
You are investigating the impact of a gene mutation on the structure of the encoded protein and find that the encoded protein is substantially longer than normal, with the extra amino acids embedded within the normal amino acid sequence (not at either end). What type of mutation could cause this? Group of answer choices Mutation in a termination signal Mutation in the first AUG near the 5’ end Mutation at a splice site Mutation in the promotor Mutation in the poly-A signal

IS. Alternative splicing has been estimated to occur in more than 95% of multi-exon genes. Which of the following is not an evolutionary advantage of alternative splicing? Alternative splicing increases diversity without increasing genome size Different gene isoforms can be expressed in different tissues Alternative splicing creates shorter mRNA transcripts Different gene isoforms can be expressed during different stages of development.
A mutation that inactivates the repressor gene of the lac operon results in (a) the continuous transcription of the structural genes (b) no transcription of the structural genes (c) the binding of the repressor to the operator (d) no production of RNA polymerase (e) no difference in the rate of transcription

Searching the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome, researchers found approximately 4,000 DNA sites with a sequence which could potentially bind the yeast transcription factor GAL4. GAL4 activates the transcription of galactose genes. Yet there are only 10 GAL4-binding sites which control the genes necessary for galactose metabolism. The GAL4 binding sequence is CGGAT#AGAAGC*GCCG, where # is T, C or G, and * is C or T. In one chromatin immunoprecipitation experiment (ChIP), yeast growing on galactose were lysed, and subjected to cross-linking reagents which cross-linked transcription factors and activators to DNA. Next the DNA was sheared into small fragments, and antibodies to GAL4 were added. These antibodies coprecipitated the GAL4 and the DNA it was cross-linked to. The cross-linking was then chemically reversed, and the DNA was isolated, cloned into a library of plasmids and sequenced. Results showed that only 10 different DNA sequences had GAL4 bound. Since the…
