Document Summary

Dna/genes in square brackets are introduced in e. coli on plasmids. Genes not in square brackets are components of the lac operon in the e. coli genome. Assume that other non-listed genes in the lac operon in the genome are wild-type in each case. In each case below, indicate the phenotype of the merodiploid. Explain your reasoning. (a) laco [lacoc] (b) laci- [laciq] (c) lacp- [lacp+: translate the partial lacz sequence below. Assume that the sequence includes the start codon and normal convention is being used, with the coding sequence on the top strand. Given the new predicted amino acid sequence, identify the expected phenotype of the mutant and give an explanation. 4. (a) describe in molecular detail the function of trpr in e. coli (b) you have isolated a mutant of e. coli. What is the most likely explanation for this observation ? (c) e. coli is grown in media containing low levels of tryptophan.
