Answer 1

Answer #1

3) A) The translated repressor protein is produced in an active conformation: Repressible operon. When repressor is active then the repressor binds to the DNA of the operator, it keeps the operon off from being transcribed.

B) An inducer molecule promotes transcription: Inducible operon. Inducers can bind to repressors, resulting shape change and preventing them from binding to DNA. So, transcription happens.

C) The translated repressor protein is produced in an inactive conformation: Inducible operon. When the repressor is in inactivated form that does not bind to the operator. So, transcription happens.

D) A corepressor is required to inhibit transcription: Repressible operon. Repressor and corepressor complex joins to the operator and turn off transcription.

Which of the following statements is correct concerning operon gene control? Positive control requires an activator protein to stimulate transcription of the structural genes within an operon. In negative control, a repressor protein inhibits or turns off transcription of the structural genes within the operon. An inducible operon normally is not transcribed. It requires an inducer molecule to stimulate transcription either by inactivating a repressor protein in a negative inducible operon or by stimulating the activator protein in a positive...

A particular gene (call it xyz) is, like the lac operon, regulated both by Negative and by Positive control. However, unlike the lac operon, xyz's Negative control system is repressible. We'll call the repressor signal "signal 1." The Positive control system of xyz, like that of lac, is inducible. We'll call the inducer "signal 2." I want you to sketch the xyz gene in the presence and absence of each signal, as follows, and then determine whether the xyz gene...

1) Which of the following conditions is most likely to cause the lactose operon to be transcribed? A) There is more glucose in the cell than lactose. B) There is glucose but no lactose in the cell. C) The cyclic AMP and lactose levels are both high within the cell. D) The CAMP level is high and the lactose level is low. 2) How does the transcription of structural genes in an inducible operon occur? A) It occurs continuously in...

For Questions 4-18, consider the mutations described in the left-hand column below. Identify whether the Lac operon will be ON or OFF in each of the environments listed across the top. The expression of the normal (wild type) operon is given. Note that "ON" and "OFF" refer to whether the operon is expressed at high levels (ON) or basal//low/no levels (OFF). (Hint: mutations render the indicated site inactive while leaving the remaining part of the operon or protein functional.) Note...
