A bacterium has a faulty lac operon in which there is a structural defect in the operator. In this bacterium there is a structural problem with a segment of DNA that binds a repressor.

  • A protein known as a repressor binds to an operator site. The operator in this instance (and numerous others) is a section of DNA that lies just downstream of the RNA polymerase binding site or overlaps with it (promoter). In other words, it lies between the operon's promoter and its genes.
  • The repressor protein inhibits the synthesis of messenger RNA by attaching to the promoter region of the gene(s) (mRNA). The control of gene expression in cells requires repressor proteins.
  • Thus, by physically impeding the RNA polymerase's ability to operate, these repressor proteins stop the gene from being transcribed.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

B. Glucagon

Explanation:

Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone, secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. Whenever the blood glucose level falls, glucagon is released to increase the blood glucose levels. This function of glucagon is quite opposite to the function of insulin and hence both are antagonistic hormones. Insulin reduces the blood glucose where as glucagon increases the blood glucose.

Glucoagon is large polypeptide of 29 amino acids. Since it helps in increasing the blood glucose homeostatic levels it is called as hyperglycemic hormone. It does so by stimulating certain processes such as:

- Stimulating Glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen to release more glucose from liver.  

- Stimulating Gluconeogenesis i.e. synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins.

- Glucagon inhibits the process of glycogenesis i.e. synthesis of glycogen, the storage form of glucose.
