The locations of numerous lacI- and lacIS mutations have been determined within the DNA sequence of the lacI gene. Among these, lacI- mutations were found to occur in the 5=-upstream region of the gene, while lacIS mutations were found to occur farther downstream in the gene. Are the locations of the two types of mutations within the gene consistent with what is known about the function of the repressor that is the product of the lacI gene?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
