Explanation: This question is based on Kenmore project and your knowledge about genes and mutations there is all the information you need first of all find out what PCK:Zcab is made of and is a mutation of what gene that way you can determine what change happened to the original gene that was mutated to PCK:Zcab

1) After multiple rounds of culturing, one of Dr. Kenmore's E. coli pCK: Zcab clones stops being able to use lactose, but still can convert methane to methanol.

-A mutation to which gene or genes would explain this result?

-What kind(s) of mutation(s), silent, missense, non-sense or frameshift, would result in this loss of function? (You only need to pick on gene, and one kind of mutation to answer this question, but you must justify your answer)

-Would the mutation you selected result in a shorter transcript or loss of transcription from the mutated gene?

-Would the mutation you selected result in a shorter peptide or loss of translation from the mutated gene?
