Answer:

Ralph's radial nerve may be getting compressed

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it seems that Ralph's radial nerve may be getting compressed. This nerve, which is located in the armpit region, if compressed can cause temporary cessation of nervous transmission which is what causes numbness (as Ralph is feeling). If this compression continues for too long it can also cause permanent nerve damage.

Explanation:

From December to march, transportation and industrial work is greatly affected due to the corona virus. Due to reduction of activities in both transportation and industries, there is a lot of decrease occurs in the air pollution. We know that smoke produce by vehicles and industries are the main cause of pollution so that's why air pollution decreases between December to march..

What is the determining factor for the transcription of structural genes of the trp operon?
padilas [110]

The right answer is 3. the availability of tryptophan in the environment

The TRP operon regulation depends on the availability of the tryptophan molecule (it depends if the cell need tryptophan or already has it).

There are two modes of regulation of the trp operon: Suppression and Mitigation

*Repression

The synthesis of operon mRNA is controlled by a repressor that blocks transcription when bound by tryptophan, which acts as a co-repressor.

The repressor, a 108 aa homodimer (ie 2 apo-repressor), has helix-turn-helix domains that interact with inverted repeats at the major groove of the operator, thus allowing its fixation.

In the absence of trp, the repressor is inactive and does not attach to the operator. The RNA polymerase can bind to the promoter and transcribe the trp E, D, C, B, A structural genes.

In the presence of trp, the repressor changes conformation and becomes active, so it binds to the operator, preventing RNA polymerase from accessing the promoter so transcription will not occur.

* The Attenuation

This is a premature termination of transcription that is a function of Trp concentration. It takes place at a late moment of transcription while regulation by repression is done during the initiation.

1st Case: Low Trp Rate, Continuous Transcription, → Formation of the Anti-attenuator in the absence of trp, and therefore the synthesis of tryptophan is continued.

2nd case: High rate of trp, stop transcription, → Formation of the attenuator in the presence of trp. This one will attenuate the synthesis of tryptophan.
