OPTION TWO IS CORRECT
EXPLANATION: MOST MUTATIONS IN THE OPERATOR ,THE BINDING SITE FOR REPRESSOR ,LEAD TO LOWER AFFINITY FOR REPRESSOR AND HENCE LESS BINDING . THUS THESE MUTATION ALLOW CONTINUED TRANSCRIPTION (AND THUS EXPRESSION) OF THE LAC OPERON EVEN IN THE ABSENCE OF THE INDUCER(LACTOSE) THIS IS REFERRED AS CONSTITUTIVE EXPRESSION.

A mutation occurs in the operator of the Lac Operon. Because of this mutation, the Lac Repressor is unable to bind to the operator. If a bacterial cell contained this mutation, would the Lac operon be transcribed at a high rate (be on) or off under the following conditions: Write on or off in the blank next to each of the conditions. + glucose + lactose ________ + glucose - lactose ________ - glucose + lactose ________ - glucose -...

5. Jacob, Monod, and Pardee used various E.coli mutants to help determine how the lac operon is regulated. The descriptions of some of the mutants are listed. For each E. coli mutant determine if the lac operon would be on or off in a lactose-only environment. laci mutant: This mutant produces a super repressor that is not inactivated by allolactose. It will still stick. Operater will be off, lacO mutant: This mutant has an altered operator sequence so that the...

The Lac operon is an inducible set of genes found in bacteria cells that helps the bacteria to metabolize the disaccharide lactose. When it is turned on it produces proteins that pump lactose into the bacteria cell and break it down into glucose and galactose, which can then be used by the bacteria as a source of energy The two figures below show the Lac Operon along with the lacl gene (which regulates the Lac operon...

26. The lac operon in E. coli consists of genes that code for enzymes necessary for the breakdown of lactose. When lactose is absent, the operon is inactive because a repressor protein binds to a specific site in the lac operon. When lactose is present, lactose molecules bind to the repressor protein, causing the repressor protein to dissociate from the binding site. In the absence of glucose (a preferred energy source for bacteria), the protein CAP binds to a regulatory...

Consider what you know about the lac operon, and predict whether the repressor and the activator is active (able to bind to DNA) or inactive (unable to bind to DNA), and the level of transcription in the following scenarios. Options for transcription levels include high, medium, leaky and off. a. When lactose is present but glucose is not, the repressor is and the activator is leading to levels of transcription. and the activator is b. When lactose and glucose are...

In this problem you will explore how to solve problems involving partial diploid lac operon bacterial strains. Bacterial strains that are "partially diploid" have two copies of the lac operon because they aquired a plasmid carrying just the lac operon region. One copy of the lac operon region is on the recipient's bacterial chromosome, and the other copy is on the P plasmid that was introduced into the cell by conjugation. Partial diploid genotypes are written with the P segment...

The diagram below illustrates the LAC operon in its OFF state when the inducer molecule —lactose—is absent. Predict the ways in which the following conditions will affect the transcription of the lactose-utilization genes. OPERON Regulatory Promoter Operator_ gene Lactose-utilization genes DNA mRNA RNA polymerase cannot attach to promoter Active repressor Protein If a mutation in the regulatory gene results in a misfolding of the repressor protein so that it can no longer bind DNA, the lactose-utilization genes O Will be...

A. Describe in detail the regulation of the prokaryotic lac operon for the following environment: Glucose is present, lactose present, & the repressor protein is mutated such that the allosteric site is non-functional and can no longer bind its substrate. Be sure to specify the presence or absence and location of Lac I, allolactose, cAMP, CAP, and RNA polymerase. B. Indicate whether transcription is occurring at a basal level, a high level, or not at all.
