Suppose that gene X is induced in E. coli cells when they are treated with high levels of ethanol. A mutation in region 1 in the

upstream region of gene X results in high-level expression under basal conditions, and a mutation in region 2 results in an uninducible gene. What would you expect from a strain in which both regions 1 and 2 are mutated?

Answer:

Because there is a mutation in region one that causes high level expression even in the absence of ethanol, region 1 must bind a transcriptional repressor and regulation of gene X must occur by relief of repression. Since a mutation in gene 2 results in a uninducibility of the gene, region 2 must bind a transcriptional activator. in the absenece of an activator the reprssor becomes irrelevant and the gene is in active regadless of conditions. Mutations in both regions 1 and 2 have the same effect as a single mutation in region 2, because in the absence of a bound transcriptional activator the repressor is irrelaevnat and the gene is inactive regardless of the presence or absence of ethanol

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Each protein is coded for by a specific section of DNA called a gene. During the process of transcription, the information stored in a gene's DNA(deoxyribonecleic acid) is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus.

The answer is biomagnification. <span>Bioaccumulation</span> involves <span>the build-up</span> of a pollutant from the environment to an organism in a food chain. Biomagnification refers to the tendency of pollutants to concentrate as they move from one trophic level to the next. The substances become increasingly concentrated in tissues or internal organs as they move up the chain.
