In negative control of transcription by the lac operon, how does the presence of an inducer affect transcription?.

If the inducer [allolactose] is present in the negative control then it will bind to the repressor decreasing its ability to bind to the operator due to which the transcription begins again and the operon is turned on.

Lac Operon is a set of three genes z, y & a which are regulated under the same promoter which regulates the amount of lactose production in the cell.

An inducer is a molecule that has the ability to induce or activate the operon. ex- in the case of the lac operon, allolactose acts as an inducer.

A repressor is a molecule that will repress or restricts the transcription of the genes of the operon, as a result, the operon will be switched off.

When the lac operon is under negative control, with no CAP [catabolite repressor protein] binding activity, the repressor remains active and thus binds to the operator region of the operon, as a result, no transcription takes place and the operon will be switched off.

But if the inducer will be present even in the negative control then the transcription takes place and the operon will be on.

Tanzania [10]
If you apply white light and it reflects only red, you see it red, all the other wavelentghs absorbed. If it reflects all wavelength (i think listed all red-orange....) then it should be white.

A group of cells is assayed for DNA content immediately following mitosis (G1) and is found to have an average of 8 picograms of
mariarad [96]

Answer:

16 pg at the end of S

16 pg at the end of G2

Explanation:

A cell has 8 pg of DNA per nucleus in G1.

During S phase the DNA replicates, so every nucleus will contain double the normal amount of DNA that was present in G1. Therefore, at the end of S each nucleus would have 16 pg of DNA.

During G2 the cell continues growing and preparing for mitosis, but DNA content does not change: there are still 16 pg per nucleus.
