In studies of the amino acid sequence of wild-type and mutant forms of tryptophan synthetase in E. coli, the following changes have been observed: Determine a set of triplet codes in which only a single-nucleotide change produces each amino acid change.
For each of the E. coli strains containing lac operon alleles listed, indicate whether the strain is inducible, constitutive, or unable to express beta-galactosidase and permease. (P+ and P- are functional and nonfunctional promoters, respectively)

After comparing the whole genome sequencing results from a candidate that you suspect has a mutation that causes a downstream shift in start site selection to the parent strain to rule out pre-existing mutations, you are left with the following list of missense mutations. In 100 words or less, explain which of these mutations you believe is likely responsible for the transcription-related defects observed in your candidate strain and why you have ruled out the others.PKH1 F187I
