Below is an illustration of the repressible TRP operon, which contains the genes necessary for synthesizing the amino acid tryptophan. In low levels of tryptophan, are the genes in this operon being expressed? (.5) Explain where the trp repressor protein is located when there are increased levels of tryptophan in the environment.  (1 pt)  

A m-RNA molecule has a codon base sequence of AUG. Identify the correct t-RNA anti-codon base sequence that would bond with the m-RNA

The base sequence in the template strand of a DNA molecule is: 3′ T-G-T-A-C-A-G-A-C-C-A 5’. Which of the following is the correct base sequence for a newly synthesized strand of mRNA?

If the template DNA strand 3′ T-G-T-A-C-A-G-A-C-C-A 5’ is at the beginning of a gene, what are the first 3 amino acids that will be joined at the ribosome?  (This is the same template DNA as previous questions)

Match the following with its correct function

What is correct regarding recombinant DNA techniques (genetic engineering)?

Lab Question: In the “Bacterial Identification” lab, you used the BLAST database.  Tell something you learned about using the BLAST site.

Lab Question:  The lac operon is considered an inducible operon because it’s default state is OFF and transcription is turned ON in the presence of an inducer.  The inducer binds to and inactivates the lac repressor.  What is the inducer for the lac operon?

This is a survey question, and you can choose all the answers that apply.  For example, you can say to use the online text AND buy a print copy.  You will earn 1 point for answering (there are no right or wrong answers and I will grade this by hand.)  Thanks for your response. If you were advising a friend who was taking this course next quarter, would you tell them:

Which is the correct order of events during protein synthesis?
