A Constitutive Operator Mutation (O^c)results In

Question

A constitutive operator mutation (O^c)results in: A)no transcription. B)inducible transcription. C)transcription but no translation. D)no translation. E)constitutive transcription.

Accepted Answer

A constitutive operator mutation means that the regulatory site for the repressor protein is mutated and cannot bind effectively. This results in the continuous transcription of the gene, regardless of environmental signals or presence/absence of inducers/repressors. Therefore, the correct answer is E, constitutive transcription.
