n the tryptophan operon of E. coli, what happens when tryptophan levels get too high? tryptophan is removed from its co-repressor, causing it to detach from the operator tryptophan is removed from its co-repressor, causing it to attach to the operator tryptophan is bound to its co-repressor, causing it to detach from the operator tryptophan is bound to its co-repressor, causing it to attach to the operator all of the above occur at equal rates when tryptophan levels get too high What effect will the above process have on the tryptophan operon? RNA polymerase will detach from the promoter, initiating transcription RNA polymerase will detach from the promoter, stopping transcription RNA polymerase will attach to the promoter, initiating transcription RNA polymerase will attach to the promoter, stopping transcription all of the above occur at equal rates when tryptophan levels get too high
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
In the tryptophan operon of E. coli, what happens when tryptophan levels get too high?
- tryptophan is removed from its co-repressor, causing it to detach from the operator
- tryptophan is removed from its co-repressor, causing it to attach to the operator
- tryptophan is bound to its co-repressor, causing it to detach from the operator
- tryptophan is bound to its co-repressor, causing it to attach to the operator
- all of the above occur at equal rates when tryptophan levels get too high
What effect will the above process have on the tryptophan operon?
- RNA polymerase will detach from the promoter, initiating transcription
- RNA polymerase will detach from the promoter, stopping transcription
- RNA polymerase will attach to the promoter, initiating transcription
- RNA polymerase will attach to the promoter, stopping transcription
- all of the above occur at equal rates when tryptophan levels get too high
