  2. Based on your understanding of gene regulation in the cell and the function of the trp operon, describe how this process would be affected if there was a mutation in the operator region so that the operator could not carry out its function. (4 points)
  3. What would be the result in this process of a genetic mutation that altered the shape of the trp repressor protein? (4 points)
