The trp operon is controlled by repression and attenuation, providing a two-stage response to progressively more stringent tryptophan starvation. But attenuation alone can provide robust regulation: other amino acid operons such as leu and his rely entirely on attenuation for their control. Correct number of codons in leader peptide of leu & his operon  in a row;

Galactose imported into the yeast cell is converted to galactose 6-phosphate by a pathway involving six enzymes, whose genes are scattered over three chromosomes. Transcription of these genes is regulated by the combined actions of the proteins Gal4p, Gal80p, and Gal3p,

In Escherichia coli, the synthesis of tryptophan is controlled by the tryptophan operon that is repressed in the presence of excessive tryptophan. When a mutant strain that has lost the regulatory gene of the tryptophan operon is placed in a medium that contains all nutrients the cells need to grow except tryptophan, which of the following will occur?
