3. Assume presence of galactose and absence of glucose, and that mutants are loss of function. In a Gal 80 mutant, gal genes will/will not _________________ be expressed. In a gal4 mutant, gal genes will/will not ________________ be expressed. In a gal80/gal4 double mutant, the gal genes will/will not _________________ be expressed. If a scientist replaced the activation domain of gal4 with a histone deactylase domain, the gal genes will/will not ______________ be expressed.
Answer
Activity of GAL4 operon is regulated by multiple proteins. Gal80 (repressor) interacts with gal4 (activator) and inhibits the action of gal4 and hence decreases the expression of gal operon.
In a Gal 80 mutant, gal genes will be expressed. In a gal4 mutant, gal genes will not be expressed. In a gal80/gal4 double mutant, the gal genes will not be expressed. If a scientist replaced the activation domain of gal4 with a histone deactylase domain, the gal genes will be expressed.

Answer all questions and explain in detail. 1) GAL80 loss-of-function mutants express GAL1, 2, 7, 10, genes constitutively (in the absence of galactose) because a transcriptional activation by GAL4 is not inhibited b GAL80 is not present to block GAL4 DNA-binding c GAL80 cannot respond to GAL3 signaling d A and B e B and C 2) Gal80-; GAL4- double mutants express the GAL1, 7, 10 genes a only In the presence of galactose b only in the absence of...

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can grow as haploid or diploid cells. You have two haploid yeast strains that each carry recessive mutations that affect regulation of the genes required for galactose metabolism. One strain has a deletion of the region of the genome on chromosome II that lies between the GAL1 and GAL10 genes (deltaUAS). The other strain carries a mutant allele of the GAL80 gene on chromosome XIII that produces no functional GAL80 protein. Which of the following correctly...
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...
Genetics Worksheet Week 3: Gene Regulation and Epigenetics 1. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation in a gene that is 2.5 million nucleotides in length and encodes a protein called dystrophin. The dystrophin protein itself is 3684 amino acids in length. Calculate below the approximate size of the mRNA that encodes dystrophin. Approximately what percentage of the gene that encodes dystrophin is intron sequence? The human genome encodes a much greater variety and number of proteins than the...
2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
