View the animation below, then complete the quiz to test your knowledge of the concept.
|
1 | When glucose is present |
 | A) | cyclic AMP is high, the catabolite activator protein (CAP) binds to the activator binding site, and transcription of lactose is turned on |
 | B) | cyclic AMP is low, CAP binds to the site activator binding site, and transcription of lactose is turned on |
 | C) | cyclic AMP is high, CAP does not bind to the activator binding site, and transcription of lactose is turned on |
 | D) | cyclic AMP is low, CAP does not bind to the activator binding site, and transcription is turned off |
|
2 | The lac repressor |
 | A) | binds to the operator and prevents transcription |
 | B) | binds to the CAP site and prevents transcription |
 | C) | binds to the CAP site and facilitates transcription |
 | D) | binds to the operator and facilitates transcription |
|
3 | When both glucose and lactose are present |
 | A) | cyclic AMP is high so transcription occurs |
 | B) | the lac repressor binds with the lactose and transcription occurs |
 | C) | RNA polymerase is able to bind to the operator so transcription occurs |
 | D) | transcription is turned off |
|
4 | In the absence of glucose, when lactose is present it combines with the repressor, allowing RNA polymerase to carry on transcription. |
 | A) | True |
 | B) | False |
|
5 | When both glucose and lactose are absent, transcription occurs. |
 | A) | True |
 | B) | False |
