A scientist has discovered a strain of bacteria that can convert ethanol to pyruvate when stimulated by ethanol. When these bacteria are studied further, the scientist finds that they express two genes, C and D and that these genes are part of an operon (shown below) You decide to study these bacteria, but you determine that your bacteria have two mutations (m1 and m2) that result in a loss of function. The following table summarizes your results a figure for exam 2 Using the information given above - match the statement with the correct term 1. the repressor of this operon is [ Select ]
2. this operon is [ Select ]
3. the m1 mutation affects the [ Select ]
4. the m2 mutation affects the [ Select ] You decide to work on mutant strain 2. You introduce a wild-type operon into these mutant bacteria - i. e. an operons with fully functional regulatory and operon genes - to see if you can restore function.
5. When you add ethanol to these modified bacteria, the expression of genes C and D would be [ Select ]
6. When you remove the ethanol, the expression of genes C and D would be [ Select ]
