Most of what we know about the lac operon of E. coli has come from genetic analysis of various mutants. In the following list ar

e the genotypes of seven strains of E. coli. Part A For each strain, indicate whether the lacZ gene product will be expressed ( ) or not (-) in the presence of lactose and in the absence of lactose. Explain your reasoning in each case. Unless noted otherwise, assume that glucose levels are low. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets.

Answer:

Strain               Presence of Lactose     Absence of Lactose

I^{+} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (-)

For the wild type case, the lacZ gene product will be expressed in the presence of lactose only.

I^{S} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (-)                                    (-)

Because of the super repressor, transcription will not take place regardless of the presence of lactose.

I^{+} P^{+}O^{C} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (+)

The constitutive operator will allow for transcription to occur, whether or not lactose is present.

I^{-} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (+)

The repressor is non-functional, transcription will occur with or without presence of lactose.

I^{S} P^{+}O^{C} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (+)

The super repressor will not be able to stop transcription as it cannot bind to the constitutive operator.

I^{+} P^{-}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (-)                                    (-)

The promoter is non-functional, transcription will not start and hence, not gene product formed.

I^{+} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                   (-)     (with glucose present)    (-)      

E. coli will not metabolize lactose in the present of glucose, since glucose is the preferred source of nutrition.

When the amino acid sequences of insulin isolated from different organisms were determined, some differences were noted. For exa
amid [387]

Answer:

C) A changed to G in the first position of the codon.

Explanation:

In the translation of DNA,  triplets  or codons of mRNA  (a group of three nucleotides) are read according to a genetic code, to build proteins.

Proteins are composed of amino acids. In the translation process, each codon codes for an particular amino acid according to the  genetic code as illustrated  in the DNA codon table (attached here).  

In this table we can see that if the first position  of any of the codons coding for Threonine ( ACT, ACC, ACA, ACG) is changed for G, Adenine is going to be encoded instead of threonine.

_________ is an agent that kills bacteria. germicide antiseptic bactericidal antiviral
umka21 [38]
The agent that kills bacteria is called bactericidal. Bactericidal agents act directly by destroying the present bacteria. It is also different from bacteriostatic, because bacteriostatic means the inhibition of the spread and growth of bacteria only.

The restriction endonuclease ecori cleaves the dna sequence 5'-gaattc-3' in such a way as to leave a 5' overhang, which is often
qaws [65]

The restriction endonuclease EcoRI cleaves the DNA sequence 5'-GAATTC-3' in such a way as to leave a 5' overhang, which is often referred to as a "sticky end". To 5' overhang with the complementary sequence this sticky end adhere.

  • The palindrome EcoRI restriction site breaks DNA after G and creates sticky ends with AATT. G/corresponding AATTC's DNA sequence is CTTAA/G, where "/" designates the location of the peptide bond break.
  • When the ssDNA sequence 5'-GAATTC'-3 is recognised by the restriction endonuclease EcoRI, a single-strand cut is made between the G and A nucleotides.
  • At the ultimate end of double-stranded DNA, an overhang is single-stranded DNA. This can occur on either strand, and if it does, there will either be a 5' overhang on the 5' end of the strand or a 3' overhang on the 3' end of the strand.

Name the process where one bacterium DIVIDES INTO TWO by ASEXUAL reproduction
olga nikolaevna [1]
Binary fission cause Cloning is a hot ethical issue in the scientific community, but bacteria clone themselves all the time. In a process called binary fission, one bacterium doubles its size and genetic material, then splits to produce two identical cells.
