Questions 6: Gene Expression Regulation (9 pts) Heart defects from genetically inherited mutations affect about 1-2% of children and cause a significant number of stillbirths. They can also lead to heart disease in adults. Many genetically inherited heart defects are due to mutations in genes for transcription factors that control expression of genes that are required for normal heart development. For example, over 30 different mutations have been found in the gene for transcription factor Tbx5 in patients with genetically...

(6 pts) Several mutations of the lac operon have been identified. A bacterial mutant called OC (for constitutive operator) expresses the lac operon even when lactose is present, hence the name constitutive operator. What kind of mutation in the operator sequence could lead to a constitutive operator? Another mutant strain of bacteria called Is (for super repressor) leads to repression of the lac operon regardless of the presence or absence of lactose. What kind of mutation in the repressor protein...
