A mutation in E. coli resulted in loss of rho factor: Which of the following processes would be affected by this mutation? Initiation of transcription of all genes Initiation of transcription of some genes Transcription termination of all genes Transcription termination of some genes Initiation of translation Termination of translation

Which of the following types of mutation would be expected to result in a lower number of transcription initiation events from a particular promoter per cell cycle in an E. coli cell? Mark any or all that apply. A point mutation that changes the promoter sequence to a sequence further away (more different) from the "consensus" promoter sequence for E. coli. A mutation that disrupts the functioning of the transcriptional terminator of the mRNA associated with the promoter in question. A deletion that deletes the middle of three genes in an operon. A mutation that eliminates the translational start sequence for the first gene of the operon transcribed by the promoter in question.

In E. coli, what happens when glucose levels fall? A. Anabolic operons are downregulated to preserve energy and allow for cell growth. B. cAMP binds to CAP, which will then promote transcription of operons involved in using carbon sources other than glucose. C. Lactose binds to the lac operon, which increases the production of glucose inside the cell. D. Methylation of the histone proteins increases the accessibility of transcription for other energy sources.
