Answer: lac operon is enhanced when CAP-cAMP complex interacts with rna polymerase.

Explanation:

The operon is defined as a set of structural genes organized in sequence and under the control of a single promoter. RNA polymerase transcribes, from the common promoter, all the structural genes into a single polycistronic RNA molecule, which is translated into the proteins encoded by the genes.

The CAP-cAMP Complex acts positively by providing the basic conditions for transcription. The complex binds to the lac promoter and doubles the DNA of this region, which allows it to be recognized by the RNA polymerase. In the absence of cAMP or CAP protein, the process of transcription does not occur because the RNA polymerase does not recognize the Lac promoter. When the CAP-cAMP complex is present, the promoter is recognized by the RNA polymerase, which binds to it. The CAP protein is, therefore, an activator and the cAMP an effector.

A gene with the sequence ATTCATTCA underwent duplication after a few generations. Which sequence represents this gene after the

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The sequence would be ATTCATTCA.

Explanation:

Usually, when a sequence is duplicated, one of them becomes a non-coding. It's just like a computer. There can only be one specific file, or else a duplicated one will just replace the existing one, if you allow the file to do so. Same with DNA. This is why most of our DNA have no function and why we lost genetic abilities such as being able to produce our own Vitamin C.

So instead of the new gene being ATTCATTCAATTCATTCA, it's simply ATTCATTCA. You simply cannot have duplicates, just like computer files. I wish I could share an amazing video by PBS Eons giving a great explanation about genes and stuff, but sadly Brainly doesn't like such stuff, so just search up in ㄚㄖㄩㄒㄩ乃乇 (ebuTouY) "genes we lost along the way" and it should be the first video that pops out. Trust me, it's a great video, it's much better than my explanation.

Which of the following cell organelles are responsible for making proteins?

Tresset [83]

There are four main organelles:
Nucleus
Ribosome
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus

However, the ribosome is the most responsible for making protein, even though the other 3 are also important. It isn't a cell organelle but a cell structure that produces proteins.
