Arаbinоse is а sugаr that can be used by E. cоli. Twо genes, AraA and AraB, encode proteins that bring arabinose into the cell and convert it into glucose. These genes are part of an operon that turns on only in the presence of arabinose. The table shows this wild-type response and the response of a mutant strain of E. coli that has been isolated. Also, shown is the response in pseudo-diploid bacteria with the indicated genotype. Use this information to answer the questions below. a. Based on the information given in the text above, is this an inducible or repressible system? Enter "I" or "R" in the blank. [1] b. When considering only line number #2 (M-) in the table (do not consider the pseudo diploid result), which of the following hypotheses could explain this mutation. Enter all correct numbers in the blank using the format "1 2 3". Numerical order and a space between numbers. [2] 1. Loss of an activator protein 2. Loss of a repressor protein 3. Gain of an activator protein 4. Gain of a repressor protein 5. Mutation in a repressor binding site 6. Mutation in an activator biding site c. Now, take a look at line #3. Is this result indicative of trans or cis regulation? Enter "T" or "C" in the blank. [3] d. Therefore, the hypothesis that is correct is... Enter the number (1-6). [4] e. Therefore, the regulatory for this protein would: bind or not bind to DNA when arabinose is present? Enter "B" for bind. Enter "NB" for not bind. [5]
а) Explаin the nаture and impоrtance оf the phrase “duty tо accommodate”. b) Explain how a union might be involved in or affected by the accommodation process.
