Okay, so the question says that a mutation in the chromosome of e.
00:04
Coli has occurred, and the mutation occurred in the operator.
00:08
So i've denoted this mutation in here, in blue.
00:15
This is the mutation.
00:17
The operator region is shown in this black box.
00:21
And then the green is the gene of interest.
00:25
And then, of course, here's the repressor in red, which makes the repressor protein.
00:34
Okay, so the mutation exists.
00:40
The result is that the repressor can no longer, can no longer bind to the operator region.

A student transforms the bacteria, so this same bacteria transforms it with a plasmid...
