Amutation occurs in the trp operon dna of e. coli and results in the change to the two ugg tryptophan codons in the 5′ utr of the rna to uag stop codons. what effect will this mutation be expected to have on the regulation of this mutant trp operon compared to a wild-type operon?
a) in the presence of tryptophan, transcription of the structural genes will be reduced compared with a wild-type operon.
b) in the absence of tryptophan, transcription of the structural genes will be reduced compared with a wild-type operon.
c) in the presence of tryptophan, the repressor will bind to the operator/promoter region with the mutant operon more strongly than with a wild-type operon.
d) in the absence of tryptophan, rna polymerase will not bind to the operator/promoter region with the mutant operon.
e) in the presence of tryptophan, transcription of the structural genes will be enhanced compared with a wild-type operon.

E) In the presence of tryptophan, transcription of the structural genes will be enhanced compared with a wild-type operon.

Explanation:

A mutation can be described as any changes which occur in the DNA of an organism. Some mutations can be useful whereas others have devastating effects.

A stop codon is required to stop the transcription of a gene. If this code becomes mutated, then the process of transcription will continue to happen unless a new stop codon is recognized.

Hence, when tryptophan will be present, the mutations will cause more transcription of the structural genes.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
