Question
Chapter 18, Problem 38RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The wayin which genes are amplified as and when required during certain stages of development.
Introduction:
Gene amplification takes place during the differentiation of somatic cells also. During certain stages of development, there is a requirement of certain gene products more than the others. Thus, the genes producing those particular products are amplified leaving rest of the genes as they are.

These conversions are dependent on both permease and β-galactosidase as part of the lac operon. After selection for rapid fermentation for the production of yogurt, one Lactobacillus subspecies lost its ability to regulate lac operon expression. Would you consider it likely that in this subspecies the lac operon is “on” or “off”? What genetic events would likely contribute to the loss of regulation as described above?

For example, if you think the answer is 24, write 24 and not twenty-four. If you think the answer is 24 ATP, write only the number 24. As a microbiology technician, your job is to characterize a novel bacterial strain isolated from insects. Phenotypically, you have discovered that the new bacterial strain can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. After genome sequencing and biochemical characterization, you know that your new organism is capable of making all of the enzymes necessary for glycolysis and the TCA cycle, and that it has an electron transport chain. Answer the following questions based on the growth of your organism on minimal media plates containing only acetate as a carbon and energy source. Acetate is transported across the membrane at the cost of 3 ATP per molecule. Each question should be answered based on the metabolism of one molecule of acetate.
