(USMLoid) 5 different variably sized fragments of DNA upstream (5') of Human Gene Y, between +1 and -1500, were fused to the 5' end of a fragment of DNA encoding the Luciferase enzyme. The start of transcription is at +1, the root of the bent arrow. A scale is shown at top left. These reporter constructs were then transfected into a human cell line. Cytosol extracts were prepared 24 hours later and luciferase activity measured. The results are shown to the right for each construct. Which of the following segments of the 5' upstream sequence is most likely to contain an enhancer element.

(USMLoid) A researcher has discovered a strain of E.coli bearing a mutant RPOD gene, resulting in the production of an altered RNA polymerase sigma factor. This mutation would most likely affect recognition of which of the following cis-acting regulatory sequences?

You have generated an E. coli that contains two copies of the Lac operon. One copy is I-P+O+Z-Y+A+ . The other copy is I+P+O-Z+Y+A+. ( + indicates a wild type copy and - indicates a null-mutant, non-functional copy.) You grow these bacteria on petri plates containing only lactose as a carbon source and on petri plates containing both glucose and lactose as carbon sources. Both plates contain X-gal, which turns blue in the presence of active ß- galactosidase. Which of the following describes the growth of the bacteria on the two plates?
