You are doing an experiment and plated E. coliin different medias. Media A has onlyglucose, B has only lactose, and media C has

both glucose and lactose.You notice that some of the cultures grown in media C are metabolizinglactose. Which type(s) of mutation(s) could cause this to occur

Answer:

A. Glucose:

As lactose is absent will follow the glucose metabolism, so the lac repressor will hold tightly with the operator which leads to the prevention of transcription as RNA polymerase can not bind to promoter so no lactose metabolism.

B. lactose:

In the case or wild mutant lactose metabolism will occur as lactose is present, allolactose binds to the lac repressor thus the operator and promoter are free so transcription starts.  The same result will be in all test except in the case of a mutant repressor.

C. glucose and lactose:

In this case, diauxic growth will occur. This growth takes place when two sugars are present in the media. The preferred sugar will be consumed first That is glucose. Then a lag phase will come which will be followed by the second sugar metabolism that is lactose.  the given two cases :

Lactose will be metabolized first, as operator site mutation prevents repressor protein binding and thus will lead to the constitutive synthesis of lac operon in test B.   The same thing will happen, as in this case also, constitutive synthesis of lac operon will happen in test C.

Cultures grown in the presence of both glucose and lactose are metabolizing lactose. In the test (b) and (c) will be responsible due to constitutive synthesis of lac operon will happen.

Which of the following best describe how genes allow cells to carry out essential life functions?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. The genes are coded to produce specific proteins, by the process of transcription and translation.

These proteins then, lead to the production of characteristic traits like eye color, hair color etc.

So genes indirectly control the traits
