This is the mucus membrane.

Mucus membranes are found lining the body canals and cavities that lead to the outside  namely the respiratory tract and digestive tract as well as the urogenital tract.

Mucous membranes secrete a sticky substance called mucus which is made of a monopoly saccharide called mucin.

The mucus traps pathogens and other particulate matter, preventing them from getting to deeper tissues. Once trapped, these unwanted foreign intruders are expelled outside of the body with the mucus, or swallowed into the stomach where they are destroyed by the strong acid  there.

The repressor protein used by Escherichia coli to control the lac operon is coded for by a gene located within the operon. quizl
Lyrx [107]

The repressor protein is coded by the i gene.

<h3>What is the function of the repressor protein in lac operon?</h3>

A protein known as a repressor prevents one or more genes from being expressed. The i gene codes for the repressor protein. The repressor protein inhibits messenger RNA synthesis by attaching to the promoter region of the gene(s). For the control of gene expression in cells, repressor proteins are crucial.

Repressors and activators of gene expression in bacteria are different from one another. However, depending on how a DNA binding protein interacts with other proteins in the cell or in other biological contexts, higher eukaryotic cells can use it as either an activator or a repressor of gene expression. As repressors, additional components like non-coding RNA may also be present.

Describe how selective breeding of wolves has lead to the breeds of dogs we see today?
SpyIntel [72]

Well, what happened was that you had populations of dog-wolves that became isolated from the greater wolf population and in doing so, they began to breed more closely—to inbreed as it were. And when you inbreed, you get genetic peculiarities that arise, and those peculiarities then begin to become part of the population…. In other words, a mutation will appear in a small population.
