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.

Why is semi-conservative important
inn [45]
The importance of the semi-conservative model is unhealthy old and new genes cancel each other. The result new cells are disease and mutation free. ... DNA replication is semiconservative because DNA is composed of two complementary strands, each of which acts as template to construct a new strand complementary to itself.

What is the difference between a dominant and recessive trait? How are each trait's symbolozed?
velikii [3]
The difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait is that the dominant trait must have one copy of each from two different parent
Example: Brown Hair=H
Light hair=h
Hh is dominant because this is of a copy of each from two parents
A recessive trait must have two same copies coming from the same two parents
Example: HH

JulsSmile [24]

Answer and Explanation :

When we begin to move, the brain first sends a signal to the spinal cord, then nerve cells in the spinal cord control the precise coordination of the muscles. The results also indicate that each part of the brainstem controls a certain aspect of moving—either running or walking.
