Binding of the lac repressor protein to the lac operator is regulated allosterically. This means that the presence of a specific small molecule that binds to the lac repressor controls whether the repressor can bind to the lac operator, and therefore whether the operon is turned on or off. Can you sort the following conditions based on whether they are associated with the lac operon being turned ON or turned OFF?

a. Allolactose is absent
b. Allolactose is present
c. RNA polymerase cannot transcribe the operan genes
d. The lac repressor protein cannot bind to the lac operator

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. OFF

b. ON

c. OFF

d. ON

Explanation:

Allosteric regulation is a process by which a particular molecule activates or inhibits an enzyme, by binding to a site different from the active site of the enzyme. Allolactose is a disaccharide that binds to the allosteric site of the lac repressor protein, triggering a conformational change in the protein that prevents the binding of this repressor to DNA. Moreover, RNA polymerase (RNA pol) is an enzyme required for the process of transcription, and therefore when this enzyme cannot bind to operon genes the lac operon is being turned OFF.  Finally, the lac operator is a nucleotide sequence where RNA pol binds, and the lac repressor binds to the lac operator in order to block the transcription of the lac operon.

give two reasons that a particular molecule may be unable to cross the plasma membrane ​

Answers

Answer:

The cell membrane's main trait is its selective permeability, which means that it allows some substances to cross it easily, but not others. Small molecules that are nonpolar (have no charge) can cross the membrane easily through diffusion, but ions (charged molecules) and larger molecules typically cannot.

What is the process by which new oceanic crust is?​

Answers

Explanation:

Subduction happens where tectonic plates crash into each other instead of spreading apart. At subduction zones, the edge of the denser plate subducts, or slides, beneath the less-dense one. The denser lithospheric material then melts back into the Earth's mantle. Seafloor spreading creates new crust.

Which of the following is true regarding the process shown below?

A. This process is cloning and involves the production of RNA from protein molecules.
B. This process is replication and involves the production of DNA from RNA.
C. This process is translation and involves the production of proteins from RNA.
D. This process is transcription and involves the production of proteins from DNA.

Answers

Answer:

C. This process is translation and involves the production of proteins from RNA.

Explanation:

- In the process of protein synthesis, the first step is called “transcription”. In transcription, the mRNA (messenger RNA) unwinds DNA base pairs, and pairs it with the single strand of RNA (A,U,C,&G) . Then the mRNA moves out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm to ribosome. That process is called “translation”. In translation, there is a molecule called tRNA (transfer RNA). There is an amino acid which corresponds to the base pairs of RNA in top, which will create a chain of amino acids.

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

This statement is true. A species can always change over time and adapt to their environment.

What are species?

A species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. It is a class of plants or animals whose members have the same main characteristics and are able to breed with each other.

Moreover, it is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behavior or ecological niche.

Hence, species can change over time and adapt the conditions according to their environment.

How can you use genetics to study human inheritance?

Answers

Answer:

by analyzing how genes influence the development of phenotypic traits, i.e., by determining the association between phenotypic traits and changes in DNA sequence  

Explanation:

Genetics is a discipline that studies how genetic variation, i.e., the variation in the Deoxiriibunicleinc acid (DNA) molecule, is associated with the transmission of heredity, and how the environment influences this process. The DNA is a molecule that carries the instructions to perform all metabolic functions (eg., reproduction, development, growth, etc). Thus, advancements in genetics enabled us to decipher how phenotypic traits pass from parents/ancestors to their offspring/descendence. Genes are segments of DNA that carry the information (genetic information) to determine each phenotypic trait. During reproduction, genes are passed from one generation to the next, thereby transmitting this information across generations.
