sitive control occurs by stepping on the gas pedal, which answer best defines a component of lac operon control?

Answer:

The correct answer is a inducer(lactose) = acts by stepping on the gas pedal.

Explanation:

In lac operon lactose act as an inducer.Lactose exerts its action by binding with the repressor and inducing a conformation al change in the repressor molecule and prevent the later from binding to the operator region.

   This ultimately result in the expression of the structural genes such as Lac Z ,Lac Y and Lac A.

  According to the given question if the lac operon is described using a car analogy then the inducer lactose will act by stepping on the the gas pedal and this is the positive regulation of Lac operon.

Compare Prokaryotic cells and Eukaryotic cells.<br><br>​
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:      Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have structures in common. All cells have a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and DNA. The plasma membrane, or cell membrane, is the phospholipid layer that surrounds the cell and protects it from the outside environment

What would happen if cytokinesis did not occur?
12345 [234]

Answer:

Cytokinesis takes place in both meiosis and mitosis and performs the separation of he cell in half and form one nucleus into each daughter cell.

If cytokinesis did not happen, it will from multinucleated cells which means that their will be multiple nuclei in single cell and cell will not get separate in half, and no new daughter cells will form.
