(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which deletion within the GAL4 gene would affect transcription of the yeast GAL1 gene in the presence of galactose.

Introduction: Transcription is the process of formation of RNA (ribonucleic acid) from the complementary DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). GAL genes are required for the proper growth of yeast in galactose medium. The regulation of GAL genes is regulated by the products of GAL4, GAL8, and GAL3 genes. Mutation in these regions may disrupt the process of transcription in yeast.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which deletion within the entire GAL3 gene would affect transcription of the yeast GAL1 gene in the presence of galactose.

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part a.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which deletion of a mutation within the GAL80 gene that blocks the ability of Gal80 protein to interact with Gal3p would affect transcription of the yeast GAL1 gene in the presence of galactose.

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part a.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which deletion of one of the four UASG elements upstream from the GAL1 gene would affect transcription of the yeast GAL1 gene in the presence of galactose.

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part a.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which a point mutation in the GAL1 core promoter that alters the sequence of the TATA box would affect transcription of the yeast GAL1 gene in the presence of galactose.

Introduction: As mentioned in the concept introduction part a.
