Chapter 7, Problem 6FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Genes that operate and transcribe a set of genes are called as operons. An operon is a DNA segment which contains the adjacent genes in which the structural gene, operator gene, and regulatory gene are included. It is the basic elemental unit of genetic expression and regulation. A gene system encoding the group of enzymes involved in a catabolic pathway that is inducible if the metabolite causes activation are called as inducible operons.

How can bacteria change genetics (evolve) if they only do asexual reproduction?
Select all that may apply. What is the purpose of incubating the lambda phage/E.coli mixture at room temperature for 20min?
Incubation at room temperature inactivates the cI repressor.
During incubation at room temperature the lambda phage will enter the lytic cycle.
Incubation at room temperature allows for the absorption of lambda phage
Incubation at room temperature will allow the lambda phage to remain in the lysogenic cycle.

- Enhanced Spatial Learning Ability in Mice Engineered to Carry an Autism Mutation Autism is a neurobiological disorder with symptoms that include impaired social interactions and repetitive, stereotyped patterns of behavior. Around 10 percent of autistic people also have an extraordinary skill or talent such as greatly enhanced memory. Mutations in the gene for neuroligin 3, an adhesion protein that connects brain cells, have been associated with autism. One of these mutations is called R451C because the altered gene encodes a protein with an amino acid substitution: a cysteine (C) instead of an arginine (R) in position 451. In 2007, Katsuhiko Tabuchi and his colleagues introduced the R451C mutation into the neuroligin 3 gene of mice. The researchers discovered that the genetically modified mice had impaired social behavior and superior spatial learning ability. Spatial learning in mice is tested with a water maze, which consists of a small platform submerged a bit below the surface or a pool of water so it is invisible to a swimming mouse. Mice do not particularly enjoy swimming, so they try to locate the hidden platform as quickly as they can. When tested again later, they remember the platforms location by checking visual cues around the edge or the pool. How quickly they remember is a measure of their spatial learning ability. FIGURE 15.14 shows some or Tabuchis result. FIGURE 15.14 Spatial learning ability in mice. Mice with a mutation in neuroligin 3 (R451C) were tested for learning performance: as compared with unmodified (wild-type) mice.
