Suppose that the genes required for Isoleucine (an amino acid) biosynthesis are contained within an operon. If the cell is grown in the presence of high amounts of isoleucine you would expect to find:The repressor protein to bind to the operator, allowing transcription.The repressor protein to bind to the operator, preventing transcription.The repressor protein released from the operator, preventing transcription.The repressor protein released from the operator, allowing transcription.Question 2

The tRNA with UAU as the anticodon would be attached to which amino acid?isoleucineserineleucinetryrosineQuestion 3 

In an expression plasmid, the origin of replication: _________________Is the position where the base number begins at 1.allows for growth of plasmid containing bacteria in the presence of antibiotics.is responsible for the replication of mRNA.allows the bacteria to duplicate the plasmid.Question 4
