Question

1.You have isolated a mutant that makes a temperature sensitive rho molecule; rho functions normally at 30 degree but not at 40 degree. If you grow this strain at both temperatures for a short period of time and isolate total, newly synthesized RNA, what relative size RNA do you expect to find for transcription units with rho-dependent terminators in each case?
