There are several things that can cause water erosion. The one that is not a means of water erosion is natural springs. The correct answer is C.
The correct sentences are the following:
A) Antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations is caused by natural selection of bacteria that inherit mutations that make them resistant to the antibiotics.
C) Crossing-over causes a shuffling of allele combinations during meiosis as the alleles from each parent form new combinations on homologous chromosomes.
E) When two bacteria are linked during conjugation, the donor cell passes DNA to the recipient cell which causes genetic recombination.
Explanation:
These three options are associated with the generation and preservation of genetic diversity
Options for part A are as follows:
A) A mutation in the operator sequence
B) A mutation in the lac-Z gene
C) A mutation in the lac-Y gene
D) A super repressor mutation
Answer:
The correct answer:
Part a - A mutation in the operator sequence
Part b - It ensures that a cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment
Part C. true.
Explanation:
part a:
If there is a mutation in the operator sequence leads to prevent binding of the repressor which leads to allowing constitutive expression of the genes various conditions.
part b:
The biological role of the lac operon makes sure that the cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment
Part c:
RNA polymerase cannot transcribe the structural genes due to the repressor binds to the lac operator, therefore, the proper function of the lac operon is possible when the placement of the operator sequence between the promotor and the structural genes.
