Question

In a bacterial strain with a mutated tRNA synthetase that functions at approximately 15% of the efficiency of the wild-type synthetase, what is the likely effect on the attenuation of the tryptophan operon?

Accepted Answer

Weakened attenuation, leading to increased transcription anti-termination.

Answer

Enhanced attenuation, leading to increased transcription termination.

Answer

No change in attenuation, with no effect on transcription.

Answer

Complete abolition of attenuation, allowing for continuous transcription.
