A scientist discovers a virus encoding a Protein X that degrades a subunit of the eIF4F complex. Knowing that this virus transcribes its own mRNAs in the cytoplasm of human cells, why would Protein X be an effective virulence factor?

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus. Therefore, the genes in prokaryotic cells are:

A scientist identifies a potential transcription regulation site 300bp downstream of a gene and hypothesizes that it is a repressor. What experiment (with results) could he perform to support this hypothesis?

Describe how transcription in prokaryotic cells can be altered by external stimulation such as excess lactose in the environment.
