Answer:
              The regulatory mechanism that allows E.coli to ignore lactose                           when glucose is present is controlled by Lac Operon. 

Explanation:

                    Lac operon is inducible and and normally turn off. It contain genes responsible for lactose metabolism and expressed when lactose is present and glucose is absent. 

Structure of Lac Operon:
                                          Lac operon is composed of following parts as shown in the figure:

1. Catabolic activator protein (CAP):
                                                              It acts as glucose sensor and activate transcription of operon through hunger signal (cAMP) when glucose level is low. 

2. Promoter:
                   It is binding site for RNA polymerase enzyme, that start transcription.

3. Operator:
                  It is binding site for Lac repressor protein. when there is no need of lactose repressor protein bind to promoter and stop transcription. 

4. Structural genes:
                                  This region is composed of Lac Y, Lac Z and Lac A genes. These genes are transcribed into lactose when needed. 

Regulatory mechanism 
                                    When glucose is present, no cAMP is made. CAP can't bind DNA with out cAMP, so transcription occur at only low rate or stop.

If the dominant allele is t and the recessive allele ("non-taster") is n, than tn and tt are the  genotypes of a "taster". tn is heterozygous and tt is dominant homozygous. nn is the genotype of a "non-taster" and it is recessive homozygous.

What is the essence of the catalase test?
garik1379 [7]

Explanation:

Catalase test demonstrate the presence of an enzyme called catalase, that catalyses the release of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide. It is used to tell the difference between the non-catalase producing bacteria from those bacteria that produces an enzyme catalase. Catalase is produced by the bacteria that respire using oxygen. If an organism produces catalase, bubbles of oxygen are produced when hydrogen peroxide is added to it.
