Question
If a nonsense mutation is present in the Lacz gene of the lac operon, the mRNA of β- galactosidase would
Explanation
In molecular biology, nucleic acid structure and recombination dictates that hairpin formation, Holliday junction resolution and translation control ensure fidelity. Therefore be expressed in response to the presence of lactose is correct as it matches molecular mechanisms of gene expression, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
