Which of the following statements is not true? O Mutations are only passed down if the mutation occurs within a germ cell or during the process of gamete formation. O Base pair substitutions can result in a frameshift mutation which may result in a different likely non-functional polypeptide. O Prions are infectious particles which cause proteins of the same type to misfold, aggregating and forming holes in the vertebrate nervous system. O Mutations are random and permanent changes in genetic material. Mutations can be caused by mutagens such as X-rays or by spontaneous errors during DNA replication or recombination. O A base pair substitution which causes a premature stop codon can be termed a nonsense mutation. b. Which of the following statements about prokaryotic gene regulation is not true? O The inducible lac operon is usually off meaning its genes are not usually transcribed, in this state the lac repressor protein is bound to the operator blocking RNA polymerase. O The trp operon can be turned off by the corepressor tryptophan which binds to the trp repressor protein. The trp repressor protein can then bind to the operator blocking RNA polymerase and thus shutting off transcription. O Bacteria control gene expression primarily through transcriptional controls only via operons. Both repressible and inducible operons are examples of positive gene regulation. O For the lac operon, only in the presence of lactose will allolactose serve as an inducer protein which binds to the repressor protein inactivating it and allowing transcription to occur producing the enzymes will allow for lactose digestion. O The repressible trp operon is usually on meaning its genes are transcribed producing the proteins needed for tryptophan synthesis. Mana
