The trp operon of e. coli controls expression of five enzymes that are involved in the biosynthesis of the amino acid tryptophan. a trp repressor protein (trpr) binds to the trp operator to prevent transcription when tryptophan is present. when would the tryptophan synthesis enzymes be made if the trpr gene was mutated?

If the trpR gene is mutated, then the tryptophan synthesis enzymes would be synthetized in PRESENCE or ABSENCE of tryptophan.

An operon is a fragment of DNA containing several adjacent genes that are transcribed under the control of a single promoter.

An operator is a site in which a regulatory molecule binds into an operon and thus acts as an on/off switch for transcription.

In Escherichia coli, the trp repressor is a protein homodimer that controls transcription of the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway.

The tryptophan amino acid binds to the trp repressor, thereby changing its tridimensional conformation and converting it into its active form.

The trp repressor binds to DNA upstream of the start of transcription and thus prevents access by RNA polymerase.

In conclusion, if the trpR gene is mutated, then the tryptophan synthesis enzymes would be synthetized in PRESENCE or ABSENCE of tryptophan.

Answer from: carlosiscr7

Tryptophan synthesis enzymes be made during low level of cellular tryptophan.

Explanation:

Tryptophan operon contain 3 regulatory gene(trpR,trpP and trpO) and 5 structural genes(trpE,trpD,trpC,trpB and trpA) .trpR encodes the repressor protein that interacts with tryptophan present in the media and then the tryptophan repressor complex binds to the operator region to block the transcription of the structural genes of tryptophan operon.

Here tryptophan acting as a corepresor.During mutation of trpR gene tryptophan biosynthesis enzymes will be synthesized only when the cellular tryptophan level remains very low.

Two male mice, which we will call male a and male b, are both phenotypically normal. male a was from a litter that contained half phenotypically normal mice and half dwarf mice. the mother of male a was known to be homozygous for the normal igf2 allele. male b was from a litter of eight mice that were all phenotypically normal. the parents of male b were a phenotypically normal male and a dwarf female. male a and male b were put into a cage with two female mice that we will call female a and female b. female a is a dwarf and female b is phenotypically normal. the parents of these two females were unknown, although it was known that they were from the same litter. the mice were allowed to mate with each other, and the following data were obtained: female a gave birth to three dwarf babies and four normal babies. female b gave birth to four normal babies and two dwarf babies. which male(s)mated with female a and female b? male a with both females male a with female b, and male b with female a male a with female a, and male b with female b could not be determined male b with both females
