Listed in parts a through g are some mutations that were found in the 5′ UTR of the trp operon of E. coli. What will the most likely effect of each of these mutations be on the transcription of the trp structural genes? a. A mutation that prevents the binding of the ribosome to the 5′ end of the mRNA 5′ UTR b. A mutation that changes the Trp codons in region 1 of the mRNA 5′ UTR into codons for alanine c. A mutation that creates a stop codon early in region 1 of the mRNA 5′ UTR d. Deletions in region 2 of the mRNA 5′ UTR e. Deletions in region 3 of the mRNA 5′ UTR f. Deletions in region 4 of the mRNA 5′ UTR g. Deletion of the string of adenine nucleotides that follows region 4 in the 5′ UTR

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
