QUESTION 1 You are studying a mutant strain of e.coli. When you add lactose to the media of this bacteria the Beta-galactosidase expression is not observed. What could be a possible explanation for this? O a. None of these can explain your observations. O b. The active domain of Beta-galactosidase is mutated and unable to break down the lactose. O c. You added too much lactose to the media. O d.The site on the repressor protein where the inducer molecule binds is mutated preventing the inducer from binding there properly. O e. The DNA binding domain of the repressor protein is mutated preventing it from binding to the DNA.

QUESTION 1
You are studying a mutant strain of e.coli. When you add lactose to the media of this bacteria the Beta-galactosidase expression is not observed. What could
be a possible explanation for this?
O a. None of these can explain your observations.
O b. The active domain of Beta-galactosidase is mutated and unable to break down the lactose.
O c. You added too much lactose to the media.
O d.The site on the repressor protein where the inducer molecule binds is mutated preventing the inducer from binding there properly.
O e. The DNA binding domain of the repressor protein is mutated preventing it from binding to the DNA.
QUESTION 2
For a certain protein, one of the codons normally codes for a lysine. You found a mutant version of this protein, which has an arginine in place of the lysine.
What type of mutation is this?
O a. Transition
O b. Transversion
O c. Frameshift
Od. Missense
Oe. Nonsense
