The destructive force of the wave is not felt while they are out at the sea but it is felt when they approach the shore.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the waves are out in the ocean they are in deeper waters. Once they move towards the shore they approach shallow waters. This movement causes shoaling of the waves by which its amplitude increases.

When the wave reaches the shore its leading edge gets slowed down by coming in contact with the beach floor but its trailing edge which is still in deep water still moves rapidly. The wave thus gets compressed and its wavelength decreases. The amplitude of the wave then increases rapidly making the wave destructive.

What is a gene? a single strand of DNA. the fundamental unit of heredity. a single nucleotide. the fundamental unit of DNA
const2013 [10]

Answer:

the fundamental unit of heredity

Explanation:

DNA is a double stranded helix structure. Each strand is made up of a string of nucleotides.

A gene is a region of DNA, usually tens of thousands of nucleotides long. At the simplest level, one gene encodes for one trait. Therefore, the gene can be described as the fundamental unit of heredity.

Genes work by coding for specific proteins, which carry out essentially all the functions in the cell.

Many mutations have been identified in the lac operon. A particular mutation in the CRP gene make the CRP protein bind to the Pl
maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. + glucose, + lactose  = On

b. - glucose, - lactose  = Off

c. + glucose, - lactose  = Off

d. - glucose, + lactose = On

Explanation:

Lac operon has both types of control, repressible and inducible.

Whenever glucose level is low in the cell, an enzyme known as adenylyl cyclase raises the level of cAMP which forms a dimer with CRP protein and they both act as activator of lac operon and cause expression.

Apart from this, when lactose is present in the cell, β-galactosidase enzyme metabolizes lactose to form allolactose which causes allosteric repulsion in the lac repressor and causes its removal from the operator. As soon as repressor is removed lac operon gets activated.

In wild type lac operons, the expression of lac operon occurs when glucose level is low in the cell and lactose is present but in this mutant presence or absence of glucose will not make a difference because CRP will bind Plac promoter independent of cAMP level i.e. activator CRP will work even in high glucose concentration. If lactose is present then lac operon will always express so in option 'a & d' lac operon will express but in option 'b & c' it will not express.
