If in an experiment you mutate the two trp codons in the attenuator to ala codon what will be the impact on repression? Correct Answer Reduced repression

The basis of attenuation at the attenuator is the presence of two trp operon which stalls the RNA polymerase when trp is deficient. Mutating the trp to ala eliminates the attenuator’s mode of repression. However, there is still an intrinsic mode of repression by binding of a repressor, which is still active.

Each question presents a situation and asks you to make a judgement regarding that particular circumstance. Choose an answer based on given information. Arun, Varun and Tarun were performing an experiment in a Chemistry lab. In the experiment they have to mark down the reading for the exam. The reading is displayed only for few seconds on ABC-meter. Each of them watched the reading and remember certain numbers. The reading is of eight digits. Out of all three, if at least two agrees for a digit then that digit must be present in the reading. 1. All three of them agrees that last 3 digits were 754. 2. Varun mentioned that the 5th digit from the left was 7. 3. Tarun and Arun agrees that first two digit from left was 35. 4. Varun and Tarun agrees that 4th digits was average of 3rd and 5th digit from the left. Which of the following would be most likely the reading of the experiment?
