What is the purpose of operons in prokaryotes?

Biology
1 answer:
Tems11 [23]3 years ago
4 0
The operon is effectively the center of transcriptional control. In addition to its main structural genes, the operon houses an operator and a promoter. In front of the promoter lies a regulatory gene that produces repressor proteins. When a repressor is in its active state, it binds to the operator.
Hope this helped.

Cultures of a bacterial species were incubated on the shelf of a refrigerator (5 C), out on a lab bench top (22 C), on the shelf
Setler79 [48]

D) Psychrotrophs.

Explanation:

  • Psychrotrophs are those bacteria which can tolerate cold temperature and have optimum growth above 15 degree Celsius.
  • Halophiles prefer high salt concentration.
  • Mesophiles prefer temperatures with a average of 37 degree Celsius.
  • Anaerobes grow in absence of oxygen.
  • In the given experiment, none of the bacterial cultures were placed in saline or anaerobic conditions. So, the bacterial species is not an anaerobe or halophile.
  • Again the cultures did not show growth at 37 degree celsius so they are not mesophiles.
  • Maximum growth at 22 degree celsius and a little growth in refrigerator make it obvious that the species is a Psychrotroph.
