1.  Genetically passing on of physical or mental traits from one generation to another is called heredity.  There are some diseases and health conditions that can be inherited and passed on, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, Alzheimer's, diabetes and cancer. Thus, knowing the medical history of your family plays an important role in your personal health.

2.  Pathogens refer to any bacterium, virus or other microorganisms that can cause illness. Some pathogens may be airborne and can be passed on through coughing and sneezing.  Covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze, wearing a face mask and frequent hand washing are some of the ways to prevent the spread of these diseases.

3. Getting vaccinated or not is one of the hottest debatable topics nowadays. For example, though there have been various case studies and research studies that were done to prove that vaccination has lowered cases of measles and polio, there are still some parents who are hesitant to give their children the MMR and polio vaccines. 

Some parents have even gone as far as spreading unsupported claims on how vaccines can trigger autism and can cause sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

In the Philippines, the cases of elementary students who were claimed to have died of 
Dengvaxia (vaccine to fight against Dengue) has caused wide panic among parents. As a result, there are parents who decided not to give their children MMR shots, which eventually caused measle outbreak in some parts of the country.

Which of the following environmental conditions would be MOST likely to result in transcription of the lac
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B high levels of lactose and high levels of cyclic AMP.

Explanation:

Lac operon contain 3 regulatory genes and 3 structural genes.In presence of lactose the repressor molecule that is encoded by Lac I gene cannot bound to the operator region.

        Bacause the lactose interact with the repressor and change its conformation so that it cannot repress the expression of the structural genes of lac operon.

  On the other hand cyclic AMP is a positive regulator of  lac operon .The interaction of cyclic AMP with the promoter region of lac operon stimulates the binding of RNA polymerase in the promoter region to boost the expression of structural genes of lac operon such as Lac Z,Lac Y and Lac A.
