Mutations
The trp operon is a DNA sequence that regulates the synthesis of tryptophan
in E.coli.
In this assignment, demonstrate your understanding of the trp operon by
completing a problem set.
Instructions
Your task is to complete the questions in the problem set. Read each question
carefully to ensure your answers include all the required information.
Questions
1. How does gene regulation involving the trp repressor protein differ from what
you observed with the lac repressor in the previous lesson? (2 points)
2. Based on your understanding of gene regulation in the cell and the function of
the trp operon, describe how this process would be affected if there was a
mutation in the operator region so that the operator could not carry out its
function. (4 points)
3. What would be the result in this process of a genetic mutation that altered the
