**Title:** Understanding the Attenuation Process of the Tryptophan Operon

**Question:** A mutation prevents regions 1 and 2 in the 5' UTR from binding. What is (are) the effect(s) of this mutation when tryptophan levels are high?

**Options:**

- [ ] No effect - attenuator will not form
- [ ] No effect - attenuator will form
- Transcription will occur at a faster pace
- Translation will occur at a faster pace

**Explanation:** In this question, you're asked to consider the impact of a specific mutation within the tryptophan operon when tryptophan levels are high. The regions mentioned are part of the mechanism that regulates gene expression through attenuation, a process affecting transcription termination. Understanding how this mutation affects the interaction in the upstream regulatory region is crucial in determining its impact on the pace of transcription and translation processes.
