In a tryptophan-rich environment, it is noticed the genes that code for proteins important in the bacteria's metabolic production of tryptophan are turned off. The bacteria are not producing tryptophan. In this example, tryptophan

  1. acts via a negative feedback loop
  2. acts via a positive feedback loop
  3. has a cascade effect
  4. has no effect
  5. is an enzyme

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In this example, tryptophan acts via a negative feedback loop. When tryptophan is present, the cell does not need to produce more of it. The genes that code for the proteins involved in the production of tryptophan are switched off in the presence of tryptophan.
