Suppose an experimenter becomes proficient with a technique that allows her to move DNA sequences within a prokaryotic genome.
-If she moves the repressor gene (lac I), along with its promoter, to a position some several thousand base pairs away from its normal position, which will you expect to occur?

Question

The repressor gene (lac I) can still be transcribed and translated into the repressor protein as long as it has its promoter, even if it is moved to a different location in the genome. The repressor protein can still bind to the operator and regulate the lac operon, so the operon will function normally.
