Operon is not transcribed:

-lac operon: lactose absent

-trp operon: tryptophan present

Positive control transcription of Operon does not speed it up:

Lactose and glucose are present, -lac operon

Tryptophan is lacking in the -trp operon.

Operon is transcribed quickly through positive control:

-lac operon: lactose present, glucose not

Only negative control is used to regulate the trp operon. The operon genes are not transcribed when tryptophan is present.

Both positive control and negative control are used to control the lac operon.

Negative control: —Transcription is inhibited when lactose is missing due to the activity of the repressor protein.

—The repressor protein is deactivated and transcription is triggered when lactose is present.

Positive control: —In the absence of glucose, another regulatory protein (CAP) attaches to the lac operon's promoter, speeding up transcription in the presence of lactose.

Select the statements that best explain Makali's GALT activity levels? Makali may have a mutation in the gene that encodes galac

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Makali may produce only small amounts of a non-mutated (wild-type) GALT enzyme.

Makali may have normal amounts of GALT, but the enzyme may be mutated.

Explanation:

Makali is lactose intolerant because of his ancestry. Because of this he is not able to digest any lactose which indirectly protected him from galactosemia. Thus he must avoid consuming galactose. He has a low GALT or galactose 1‑phosphate uridylyltransferase activity. He has a normal amount of GALT and may produce only small amounts.

the outer planets are mostly formed of lighter elements because these three condense are a ____ temperature

Stolb23 [73]

The outer planets are mostly formed of lighter elements because these three condense are a<u> lower temperature</u>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The planets based on the location of the sun is divided into two, that is outer planets and inner planets.

The Outer planet which is far from the sun consists of larger quantity of lighter substances such helium, hydrogen, methane which would condense at the lower temperature. And remains gaseous inside the frost line that would exit far away for the sun so the temperature is low and the lighter materials are easier to condense in lower temperature to form terrestrial rocks.

Which of these finding suggests a serious illness from a urinalysis?

Roman55 [17]

Although there should be choices in this question, many findings in the urinalysis can point out a serious illness as long as it is clinically correlated. The color of the urine such as tea-colored urine may be a sign of obstruction of the biliary tree such that in choledocholithases or stones in the common bile duct. The consistency of the urine such as when it is hazy may indicate infection or albuminuria. Sugars present in the urine may indicate diabetes mellitus. Increased WBC (or pus cells) and RBC in the urine may point to a urinary tract infection (pyelonephritis) or glomerulonephritis. A positive protein in the urine may indicate albuminuria characteristic of nephrotic syndrome.
