What would occur if the repressor of an inducible operon were mutated so it could not bind the operator?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. irreversible binding of the repressor to the promoter

  2. reduced transcription of the operon's genes

  3. buildup of a substrate for the pathway controlled by the operon

  4. continuous transcription of the operon's genes

The rate of movement of materials in the sieve elements can be expressed in two ways: as velocity, or as mass transfer rate. In early publications reporting on rates of transport in the phloem, what is the velocity and the mass transfer rate?

i) velocity-centimeters per hour (cm h-1) and mass transfer- grams per hour per square centimeter (g h-1 cm-2)

ii) velocity-the linear distance traveled per unit time and mass transfer rate-the quantity of material passing through a given cross section of phloem or sieve elements per unit time.

iii) velocity- the quantity of material passing through a given cross section of phloem or sieve elements per unit time and mass transfer rate- the linear distance traveled per unit time

iv) velocity- per hour per square centimeter (h-1 cm-2) and mass transfer- kg centimeters per hour (cm h-1)
