A fictional bacterial operon is responsible for the production of the biosynthetic enzymes needed to make the theoretical amino
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a. The operon is under positive control

a.) Loss of enzyme synthesis results from loss of regulatory R gene product which is regulated in the presence of Tis ophane for transcription. Absence of (Tis), transcription is positively controlled by regulatory Rprotein

b.) The proposed model reveals Tis / B complex prevents Tis enzymes from undergoing transcription through the RB operator by binding to the B region

the role of the R protein is

-decrease affinity of Tis / B complex to B region of RB

-bind to the R region on RB

- change the conformation of B region

- yield decreased affinity of Tis / B complex when R gene is lacking preventing transcription in the process

Effects of the RB mutations is that R protein will not bind to Tis / B complex to reduce transcription

The immune system tries to stop invasions by foreign agents by either killing cells directly or by
salantis [7]
Directly The immune system is designed to defend the body against foreign or dangerous invaders. Such invaders include

Microorganisms (commonly called germs, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi)

Parasites (such as worms)

Cancer cells

Transplanted organs and tissues

To defend the body against these invaders, the immune system must be able to distinguish between

What belongs in the body (self)

What does not (nonself or foreign) normal immune response consists of the following:

Recognizing a potentially harmful foreign antigen

Activating and mobilizing forces to defend against it

Attacking it

Controlling and ending the attack

If the immune system malfunctions and mistakes self for nonself, it may attack the body’s own tissues, causing an autoimmune disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto thyroiditis, or systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus).
