(a) Compare the accuracy of DNA replication, RNA transcription and protein translation by using the error rates for each of these processes in E. coli.

(b) List the mechanisms used to ensure fidelity of each of these three processes.

(c) Why do the error rates differ for these three processes?

Consider the need for accuracy in the flow of information from DNA to RNA to functional protein molecules. What are the different levels of stringency in replication, transcription and translation? What kinds of mechanism improve the accuracy of these processes?

Explain why the terms replication, translation, and transcription are used in the processes of protein synthesis. Use DNA, tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA in your response. (Give the “lay” definition of each word and apply that to the scientific process it represents)

5.) Is the CAP/cAMP effect on the transcription of the lac operon an example of positive or negative regulation? Why?

6.) Explain what happens during catabolite repression of the lac operon when both Glucose and Lactose are in high amounts. What is the biological relevance of this control?

7.) Why are Oc mutations said to be “dominant” over Is mutants?

8.) The rate of transcription of the trp operon in E. coli is controlled by what two regulatory processes? These two processes can regulate the trp operon up to about _____-fold due the combined effects of these processes. By what mechanisms do these two regulatory processes modulate trp operon transcript levels?

9.) Explain how high levels of tryptophan in the environment in which an E. coli cell is growing results in premature termination of transcription of the trp operon.
