Using recombinant DNA techniques, you have replaced the trp operon's leader peptide open reading frame in Escherichia coli with

the one from the phe (phenylalanine) operon.
How will this affect the expression of the tryptophan structural genes in the presence or absence of tryptophan? Explain the rationale for your response.

Answer:

Decreased transcription of structural genes of try operon irrespective of presence or absence of tryptophan. The leader sequence has a tryptophan codon in its sequence 1 that does not allow the formation of attenuator structure when tryptophan levels are low.

Explanation:

The leader peptide has a tryptophan codon in sequence 1. When tryptophan levels are low, translation of sequence 1 pauses at the tryptophan codon and the sequences 2 and 3 pair with each other. This does not allow pairing of sequences 3 and 4 and the formation of the attenuator is inhibited. Therefore, tryptophan operon is expressed when tryptophan levels are low.

When the leader peptide sequence is replaced with the one from phenylalanine operon, expression of tryptophan operon will be reduced. The replaced sequence lacks a tryptophan codon and therefore, the translation would not pause when the tryptophan levels are low. This would allow the ribosome to quickly translate the sequence 2. Sequences 3 and 4 will pair to form attenuator and the gene expression will be reduced irrespective of low levels of tryptophan.

Mendel used single gene (or monohybrid) experiments to describe his law of segregation. He used _______ characters (or dihybrid)
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Law of Independent assortment

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, who was regarded the father of Genetics, discovered principles that governs inheritance in his experiments. He discovered that the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes when he performed a crossed involving a single gene or character like height, pea color etc. He proposed his law of segregation based on this.

However, he considered two characters or genes in his cross, which he called a DIHYBRID cross. He discovered that the alleles of each different gene separates into gametes independently of one another i.e. without one gene influencing the other in each gamete. He called this principle his LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT.

He obtained a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio for the F2 dihybrid offsprings which is only possible if each gamete equally likely contains two alleles of the two different genes in different combinations.
