A mutation occurs in the trp operon DNA of E. coli and results in the change to the two UGG tryptophan codons in the 5′ UTR of t

he RNA to UAG stop codons. What effect will this mutation be expected to have on the regulation of this mutant trp operon compared to a wild-type operon?
A) In the presence of tryptophan, transcription of the structural genes will be reduced compared with a wild-type operon.
B) In the absence of tryptophan, transcription of the structural genes will be reduced compared with a wild-type operon.
C) In the presence of tryptophan, the repressor will bind to the operator/promoter region with the mutant operon more strongly than with a wild-type operon.
D) In the absence of tryptophan, RNA polymerase will not bind to the operator/promoter region with the mutant operon.
E) In the presence of tryptophan, transcription of the structural genes will be enhanced compared with a wild-type operon.

Answer:

E) In the presence of tryptophan, transcription of the structural genes will be enhanced compared with a wild-type operon.

Explanation:

A mutation can be described as any changes which occur in the DNA of an organism. Some mutations can be useful whereas others have devastating effects.

A stop codon is required to stop the transcription of a gene. If this code becomes mutated, then the process of transcription will continue to happen unless a new stop codon is recognized.

Hence, when tryptophan will be present, the mutations will cause more transcription of the structural genes.

Kay [80]

Answer:

1. Part A: No

2. Part B: Yes

3: Part C : Yes

4: Part D : No

Explanation:

1) Part A: Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell:

No; sodium ion co - transport is required for active transport of glucose but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose

2) Part B: Active transport of dietary phenylalanine across the intestinal mucosa:

Yes; co - transport of sodium ions drives the inward movement of amino acids and can only occur if sodium ions are actively pumped back out again.

3) Part C: Uptake of potassium ions by red blood cells:

Yes; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of sodium ions.

4) Part D: Active uptake of lactose by the bacteria in your intestine

No; active uptake of sugars and amino acids in bacteria is driven by a proton gradient.

Every time you get an X-ray how much radiation are you exposed to?​
OleMash [197]

Answer:

To put it simply, the amount of radiation from one adult chest x-ray (0.1 mSv) is about the same as 10 days of natural background radiation that we are all exposed to as part of our daily living.

What’s the difference between CAM plants, C3 plants and C4 plants??
Degger [83]

Answer:

C3 photosynthesis produces a three-carbon compound via the Calvin cycle while C4 photosynthesis makes an intermediate four-carbon compound that splits into a three-carbon compound for the Calvin cycle. Plants that use CAM photosynthesis gather sunlight during the day and fix carbon dioxide molecules at night.

Why do you think pressurized seeds and spores are a beneficial adaption for these plants and fungi?
Annette [7]

It is a beneficial adaptation since the pressurized seeds and spores spread widely, helping the organism reproduce elsewhere.   In plants, it allows them to survive better by flinging the seeds far away so that their offspring don’t compete for food. For the fungus, it allows the parent to fling the spores into the grass so that when other animals eat them, the life cycle of the fungus continues on.  These may be dispersed by the wind.
