Chapter 14, Problem 27PDQ

Summary Introduction

To determine: The work of Yanosky’s work with trpA locus in Escherichia coli constitute more or less direct evidence in support of the concept of collinearity when compared to the work with phage MS2 by Fiers’s.

Introduction: A trp operon is a group of genes that are transcribed or used, together with that codes for the components for tryptophan production. In many bacteria, trp operon is found while it was first characterized in the E.coli. Trp operon consists of five structural genes include trpE, trpC, trpD, trpB, trpA.
