Which of the following is likely if there is a mutation in the lacY gene of the lac operon in E.coli?
| 1. | The lac genes would be expressed efficiently only in the absence of lactose. |
| 2. | The lac genes would be expressed efficiently until the lactose supply in the cell is exhausted. |
| 3. | The lac genes would be expressed continuously. |
| 4. | Expression of the lac genes would cease immediately. |
The difference between ATP and the nucleoside triphosphates used during DNA synthesis is that:
| 1. | The nucleoside triphosphates have the sugar deoxyribose; ATP has the sugar ribose. |
| 2. | The nucleoside triphosphates have two phosphate groups; ATP has three phosphate groups. |
| 3. | ATP contains three high-energy bonds; the nucleoside triphosphates have two. |
| 4. | ATP is found only in human cells; the nucleoside triphosphates are found in all animal and plant cells. |
