Problem
1. How does gene regulation involving the trp repressor protein differ from what you observed with the lac repressor in the previous lesson?
2. Based on your understanding of gene regulation in the cell and the function of the trp operon, describe how this process would be affected if there was a mutation in the operator region so that the operator could not carry out its function.
3. What would be the result in this process of a genetic mutation that altered the shape of the trp repressor protein?
