Examine the following theoretical operon (gen) in E. coli which contains structural genes (genC, genB, genA) that are involved in amino acid biosynthesis. The gen operon also includes the gene encoding for the regulator molecule within it. When the amino acid that this operon helps synthesize is present, it binds to the regulator forming a complex which can bind to the operator region. Assume that the regulator molecule only binds to the operator in the presence of the amino acid. Promoter || Operator genC genB gen operon Regulator genA Question 3 Assume each gene in the gen operon has its own start and stop codons. How would a nonsense mutation in the genB region influence the expression of the gen operon in the absence of the amino acid? A. Gain of function B. Loss of function C. Null D. Silent E. Insufficient information Question 3 Assume each gene in the gen operon has its own start and stop codons. How could a base substitution mutation in the operator region influence the expression of the gen operon in the abundance of the amino acid? A. Gain of function B. Loss of function C. Null D. Silent E. Insufficient information

WHAT ELSE CAN I ADD TO THIS DISCUSSION In general, what is gene regulationand what are the consequences if this process goes awry? Gene regulation is the process used to control the timing, location and amount of genes expressed. The process is carried out by a variety of mechanisms, including regulatory proteins and chemical modification of DNA. It’s key to the ability of an organism to respond to environmental changes. If the gene regulation process goes awry, these alterations are called mutations and can accumulate over a lifetime. Errors in genes that control cell division can cause cancer and other genetic mutations to take place.
