A transcriptional repressor that controls the transcription of gene A is not normally active unless bound by an effector molecul

e X. In a certain cell, the domain of the repressor that binds to the silencer of gene A is mutated so that the repressor-X complex can no longer bind to its recognition site. With all other factors being the same, what effect do you predict on the transcription of gene A if X is increased in the cell and the cell is already expressing gene A

Answer:

Transcription of gene A is not affected

Explanation:

A transcriptional repressor is a DNA/RNA-binding protein that acts to suppress gene expression and/or protein synthesis by binding to target sequences. Moreover, a silencer is a DNA region that binds to particular transcriptional repressors in order to suppress gene expression. In this case, the transcriptional repressor is activated by binding to an effector molecule X (e.g., another protein). In consequence, and since the activated repressor-X complex is not more able to bind the silencer of gene A, it is expected that such complex will not be able to affect transcription of the target gene.

How many molecules of carbon dioxide are required to produce a 6-carbon sugar?

Answer:

24 molecules

Explanation:

All the carbon in the sugar comes from CO2. 6 molecules of CO2 need to be fixed to form 1 molecule of glucose (a 6 carbon sugar). So 24 molecules of CO2 should enter the calvin cycle to produce a sugar that has 24 carbon atoms.
