A) Producing the enzymes that synthesize tryptophan is metabolically expensive,so it is wasteful to make them when tryptophan levels are high and its synthesis is not necessary.
B) Producing high levels of tryptophan inhibits the production of other amino acids,so inhibiting its production allows all amino acids to be synthesized at equal concentrations.
C) High levels of tryptophan causes cells to become unresponsive to external stimuli,so its production must be regulated.
D) High levels of tryptophan inhibit cellular respiration and the synthesis of ATP,so its production must be regulateD.
E) All of these choices are TRUE.

Multiple Choice
A) Bacterial gene expression will increase because both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes are based on the same four nucleotides.
B) Bacterial gene expression will not occur because RNA polymerase enzymes between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are incompatible.
C) Bacterial gene expression will increase because eukaryotic RNA polymerase has analogous function to prokaryotic RNA polymerase.
D) Bacterial gene expression will decrease slightly because prokaryotic RNA polymerase cannot transcribe eukaryotic genes as efficiently as prokaryotic genes.

Multiple Choice
A) The cell could experience an ideal balance of proteins that might affect cellular function.
B) The cell would not be affected because no protein changes would occur.
C) The cell would experience increased function because having more of a protein is always an improvement.
D) The cell would likely have more and less protein at different times that would affect cellular function.

Multiple Choice
A) Expression of lac structural genes on the chromosome and plasmid will decrease because two copies of the lacO site are needed for repression of the lac operon.
B) Expression of lac structural genes on the plasmid,but not the chromosome,will increase because the mutation in the chromosomal lacO gene will prevent the expression of the genes.
C) Expression of lac structural genes on the chromosome but not the plasmid will increase because repressor proteins are unable to bind to the chromosomal lacO site,but are capable of binding the plasmid lacO site.
D) Expression of lac structural genes will not change because the lacO site is not a structural gene.
