Regulation of the E. coli trp operon by attenuation requires the trp repressor protein. prevents transcription of the trp operon structural genes in response to high levels of charged tryptophan TRNAS. occurs because tryptophan binds to the trp repressor. prevents transcription of the trp operon structural genes in the presence of high levels of glucose.

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
The tryptophan (trp) operon is a repressible system. This means the genes are normally expressed, but the presence of trp can repress the operon the genes are normally repressed the genes are normally expressed when trp is present the genes are normally repressed, but the presence of trp can activate the genes
The regulation of the lac operon in E. coli by Catabolite Activator Protein and glucose is an example of what type of regulation? Group of answer choices Positive inducible Positive repressible Negative inducible Negative repressible Constitutive
Which of the following is true about the Lac operon? Group of answer choices An operon with a constitutive operator (O^C mutation) will transcribe in the presence of a super repressor It is a positive repressible operon that is influenced mainly by fluctuations in glucose levels Produces a large quantity of tryptophan in order to synthesize lactase It is found in eukaryotes and is responsible for creating an enzyme that breaks down lactose
In the lac operon system, lactose is considered the ___________, and when the gene lacI is mutated such that the protein it produces cannot bind to lactose (IS mutation), the lac operon is ________. Group of answer choices repressor; never expressed activator; constitutively expressed inducer; never expressed inducer; constitutively expressed structural gene; never expressed
An activator (protein “V” – not encoded by this operon) binds to the activating region and RNA polymerase is bound to promoter. Describe what is occurring in terms of operon regulation/control.
A mutation at the operator prevents the regulator protein from binding. What effect will this mutation have in the following types of operons? a. Regulator protein is a repressor of a repressible operon. b. Regulator protein is a repressor of an inducible operon.
The tryptophan operon of E. coli represents an example of a gene regulatory system which is: a repressible system (normally turned on, but can be repressed) a repressible system (normally repressed, but can be turned on) an activator system (normally turned off, but can be activated) an activator system (normally activated, but can be turned off) all of the above
A mutation at the operator prevents the regulator protein from binding.What effect will this mutation have in the following types of operons? Q. Regulator protein is a repressor of an inducible operon.
A new operon called Terperon is discovered and is not normally transcribed. It is stimulated by the regulatory protein Rutgease. What kind of control is Terperon exhibiting? Group of answer choices Positive repressible Positive inducible Negative repressible Negative inducible
Study the depiction of the lac operon in Figure 11.2. Normally, the genes are turned off when lactose is not present. Lactose activates the genes, which code for enzymes that enable the cell to use lactose. Mutations can alter the function of this operon. Predict how the following mutations would affect the function of the operon in the presence and absence of lactose: a. mutation of regulatory gene; repressor will not bind to lactose b. mutation of operator; repressor will not bind to operator c. mutation of regulatory gene; repressor will not bind to operator d. mutation of promoter; RNA polymerase will not attach to promoter
If E. coli bacteria are placed in an environment that contains both glucose and lactose, the regulation of the lac operon will allow which nutrient to be processed first? Both will be processed at the same time. Neither will be processed in this environment. Lactose Glucose Not enough is known about the regulation of the lac operon to know which nutrient will be processed first.
