Answer:

b. region of DNA consisting of the promoter, the operator, and coding sequences for structural proteins.

Explanation:

Operon is a segment of DNA that carry groups of genes coding for related proteins. An operon consists of an promoter, operator and coding sequences for structural proteins (regulatory and structural genes).

The promoter is the region in operon where RNA polymerase binds and initiates the process of transcription.

Regulatory DNA sequences are binding sites for regulatory proteins that control the expression of the operon "up" or "down." and structural genes code for proteins needed for cell function such as lactose metabolism.

Regulatory proteins acts as a repressor and when bind to operator, blocks the forward movement of RNA polymerase on the DNA.

Hence, the correct option is b.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Due to inability to survive in aerobic condition.

Explanation:

The strain dies when exposed to a normal laboratory atmosphere instead of nitrogen gas atmosphere because the mutation causes change in the capability of the strain to survive in the aerobic conditions. This mutation inactivate several enzymes which is also responsible for their capabilities of surviving under both anaerobic and aerobic environment so that's why the strain dies when exposed to normal atmosphere..

6. explain the relationship between temperature and pressure. why do you think this occurs?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the temperature at a given amount of volume. When the temperature of a system goes up, the pressure also goes up, and vice versa.

Explanation:

This occurs because of the pressure temperature law. (or also known as the Gay-Lussac's law)

A researcher incubates a cell with radiolabeled amino acids. These amino acids are incorporated into the proteins as they are sy

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The incorporation of radiolabeled amino acids during protein synthesis occurs when the data shows the organelles involved with protein synthesis, packaging and transport, that is, radioactivity levels would increase first at the rough endoplasmic reticulum, followed by the Golgi, and then the secretory vesicles (option C).

Explanation:

Protein synthesis in the cell occurs when RNA -which contains the sequence of triplets or codons that make up the genetic code- is coupled to ribosomes.

Each codon or triplet, consisting of three nucleotides, will give instructions for specific amino acids to be incorporated into the polypeptide chain that is being synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging or packaging the newly synthesized proteins in secretory vesicles for transport.

In consecuense, radioactivity levels would increase in the organelles involved in protein synthesis, packaging and transport, the rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and secretory vesicles, respectively.
