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.

Answer:

a. Two of these are correct.

Explanation:

The two correct options are

b. Is a critical component or requirement for wound healing to take place

d. Existing blood vessels give rise or sprout to form new blood vessels

Angiogenesis is the physiological means in which new blood vessels form pre-existing vessels, developed in the starting phases of vasculogenesis. Angiogenesis is a usual and important process in growth and development, wound healing and in the development of granulation tissue.

The growth and maturation of blood vessels is a largely regulated multistep mechanism called angiogenesis.

nataly862011 [7]

The correct answer is A. Lac repressor.

Lac repressor prevents lac gene which are found in the DNA of Escherichia Coli from being expressed for many times.

Lac repressor is termed as DNA which binds proteins. It allows the expression of genes from coding which are made for proteins to be involved in metabolism of lactose which is in bacteria.

When there is no lactose which is available in the cell, then the genes are being repressed. Lactose are being converted to allolactose if they are available.
