Question

Suppose an experimenter becomes proficient with a technique that allows her to move DNA sequences within a prokaryotic genome.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) The structural genes will be transcribed continuously.

Explanation:

Suppose an experimenter becomes proficient with a technique that allows her to move DNA sequences within a prokaryotic genome.  If she moves the operator to the far end of the operon, past the transacetylase (lacA) gene, the structural genes will be transcribed continuously.

A structural gene is a gene that codes for any RNA or protein product other than a regulatory factor (i.e. regulatory protein).
