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.

Stels [109]

Answer:

In an individual's molecular and cellular level, the heterozygote alleles are preferred over the homozygote alleles. In humans, the heterozygote alleles are found at a locus of beta polypeptide subunit of hemoglobin, while on the other hand, the homozygous alleles found at a similar locus are prone to sickle cell disease.  

The individuals carrying homozygous alleles exhibit sickle-shaped RBCs and they also possess low oxygen-carrying capacity, which ultimately results in brain, kidney, or heart failure. However, in the case of heterozygous alleles, the configurations of RBCs are of two kinds, that is, normal shaped and sickle-shaped. Thus, there are not enough sickle-shaped cells to result in the condition.  

The heterozygote alleles are resistant to malaria, thus, in tropical areas, where malaria is a prime issue the heterozygote alleles are preferred over the homozygote dominant alleles as they are vulnerable to the infection and over the homozygote recessive alleles who has sickle cell disease.

<h2>Messenger RNA </h2>

Explanation:

Messenger RNA results from the breakage and recombining of DNA strands that is known as transcription

  • Transcription always starts at a specific site called promoter
  • Promoter are specific sites on DNA where RNA Polymerase binds and initiates transcription
  • Synthesis of RNA occurs in 5'-3' direction and continuous
  • Only a strand of DNA act as template, template is also known as antisense strand or non coding strand  
  • The complementary strand is the sense strand or the coding strand
  • Only a small segment of DNA is transcribed at a time generally called gene

Stacy bought two vegetables one of them is scaly with a few buds and the other has hairy structures which parts of the vegetable
Vilka [71]
This is from another brainly answer it's the same questions but it should be the correct answer because it's a certified answer. Hope this helps!

Tuber is thick underground stem, such as potato for example. It usually has buds from which new plants could grow. So, the first part of Stacy's vegetable is definitely turbous stem. The other part must be root, because it has hairy structures. These hair-like structures have function in <span>the absorption of water and minerals from the soil.</span>
