Would cells with the mutated ribosome binding site upstream of the Permease gene still be able to metabolize lactose

Respuesta :

Answer: No, lactose metabolism will stop.

Explanation:

If the binding site of ribosome with mRNA gets mutated then the ribosome will not be able to translate the mRNA. As a result of this no functional enzymes will be produced or synthesized in this process like permease and beta-galactosidase.

In the absence of these enzyme proteins the lactose will not be metabolized by the cells of the body.
