Homework Answers
A functioning unit of DNA which contains a cluster of several
structural genes that are regulated by a common operator under a
common promoter is called an operon. All of the genes in an operon
are transcribed together.
In prokaryotes, the transcribed mRNA remains as polycistronic mRNA.
In eukaryotes,, by splicing monocistronic mRNAs are formed. These
monocistronic mRNAs get translated separately.
Hence, option E is the correct answer.

There are several possible mutations in the trp operon:
trpP -is a mutation in the promoter sequence
that prevents RNA polymerase from binding to the promoter and
initiate transcription of the trp operon genes.
trpOcis a mutation in the operator sequence
that prevents the trp repressor protein from binding to
the operator to block transcription of the trp operon
genes.
trpR-is a mutation in the repressor protein
that either prevents repressor protein from being made or produces
a mutant repressor...

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...

In rho-dependent transcription termination: the formation of a hairpin in the transcribed mRNA causes RNA polymerase to pause, facilitating termination. rho binds the mRNA, and when it makes contact with RNA polymerase, it assists with the removal of the mRNA from the DNA template. the rho factor binds to the -10 consensus sequence located in the promoter region to terminate transcription. a site within the poly(A) tail is cleaved which signals termination. the 3' untranslated region (3" UTR) is synthesized....

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...

Yet, all the cells in your body contain the same
genes (and same alleles). The difference across cell types
is that genes get selectively expressed (turned on or off)
based on the proteins needed for cellular function given their
environment.
