Ch. 16 - Regulation of Gene Expression in Bacteria

Chapter 16, Problem 1

In this chapter, we focused on the regulation of gene expression in bacteria. Along the way, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions? What evidence established that lactose serves as the inducer of a gene whose product is related to lactose metabolism?

Hello everyone here We have a question that says the lactose acts as a lack chaperon inducer due to the activity of blank enzyme. And our answer is beta galactose cities, also known as laC Z, and it has two functions. The first is it catalyze, is the inter molecular isomerization of lactose to a low lactose, which is the lack opteron inducer. And it also hydra lies, is lactose to galactose and glucose. So our answer here is B. Thank you for watching. Bye!
