Options for part A are as follows:
A) A mutation in the operator sequence
B) A mutation in the lac-Z gene
C) A mutation in the lac-Y gene
D) A super repressor mutation
Answer:
The correct answer:
Part a - A mutation in the operator sequence
Part b - It ensures that a cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment
Part C. true.
Explanation:
part a:
If there is a mutation in the operator sequence leads to prevent binding of the repressor which leads to allowing constitutive expression of the genes various conditions.
part b:
The biological role of the lac operon makes sure that the cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment
Part c:
RNA polymerase cannot transcribe the structural genes due to the repressor binds to the lac operator, therefore, the proper function of the lac operon is possible when the placement of the operator sequence between the promotor and the structural genes.
Answer:
Direct relationship.
Explanation:
There is direct relationship between growth rates and time which means growth rate of organism increases with the passage of time. Direct relationship means if one increases the other automatically increases and if one decreases, the other also decreases. The growth of bacteria becomes double when more time passes and vice versa. After every 20 minutes, the population of bacteria becomes double.
Answer:
Option A, keystone species
Explanation:
Keystone species are responsible for controlling any species from becoming dominant over all other species. The keystone species are found at the top of all the energy pyramids and food chains.
They control the explosion of population of prey and hence regulate the overall ecological diversity.
Some common example of keystone species is as follows –
Bison, prairie dog, large mammalian predators,
Hence, option A is correct
