11. Option C: The cells will metabolize glucose first, then turn on the lactose operon. This will providethe enzymes necessary to metabolize lactose(breakdown).
Production of enzymes for breaking down lactose is an energy consuming process. Thus, if glucose is available in the medium then it will be utilized firstm followed by lactose.
12. Option D : cAMP is an inducer of lac operon and it binds to CAP (Catabolite Activator Protein) to promote transcription of lactose operon genes.
The low levels of glucose cause a rise in the levels of cAMP, which induces the lac operon.
13. Option D : Tyrosine, Cysteine, Isoleucine and Aspartate
The DNA sequence will code for the following mRNA sequence: 5'
AUG UAC UGC AUU GAU UAG C 3'.
AUG and UAG are the start and stop codons respectively.

9. Using the diagram of the lac operon (regulates transcription of genes for lactose metabolizing enzymes) below, draw the appropriate positions for RNA polymerase and the CAP activator molecule when CAMP is present. Then draw the appropriate position for the repressor molecule when lactose is present as an inducer. Finally, indicate whether or not transcription occurs.

The lac operon contains a DNA sequence known as the lac promoter (P or P+ for wild type; P– for mutant (RNA polymerase does not bind)) that serves as the RNA polymerase binding site. The lac operon also contains a DNA sequence known as the Lac operator (O or O+ for wild type; O– or Oc for mutant (lac repressor cannot bind)) which is the binding site for lac repressor. The lac repressor, a protein, is encoded by the lac...

Consider an E. coli strain carrying a mutation in crp (encoding the catabolite activator protein) that prevents CAP from binding CAMP. 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...

The gene machine program shows you what happens when lactose is present in E. coli, and how the lac operon is under negative control. However, the lac operon is also under positive control from a protein called CRP, eAMP Receptor Protein. The absence of the lac repressor is essential but not sufficient for effective transcription of the lac operon. RNA polymerase also depends on the presence of CRP. Like the lac repressor, which can bind to the DNA and lactose....

3. The CAP activator protein and the Lac repressor both control the Lac operon (see Figure 28-14). Fill out the table below with No expression, Low/Medium expression, or High expression to summarize when the Lac operon will be expressed in each of the three E. coli strains in the table.

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...

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.
