What is the regulatory mechanism that allows e.coli to ignore lactose when glucose is present?

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.

Which option describes a condition required for natural selection to occur?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

You need to know the conditions required for natural selection to occur. These include: overproduction of offspring, inherited variation, and the struggle to survive, which result in differential reproductive success. You need to understand genetic drift and gene flow

1. Get a flashlight and switch it on.
Anna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The beam emitted travels along a straight path and it is divergent in nature. It has its radius increasing progressively as the distance away from the source of light increases.

2. It would be observed that the region where the bulb is positioned has denser light beam. This gets fainter towards the edges of the beam and away from the bulb.

Dr. Haxton says the o-o bond is polar and the c-c bond is nonpolar. A good student would say ...
Serggg [28]

Dr. Haxton says the O-O bond is polar and the C-C bond is nonpolar. A good student would say ...

a.No, both bonds are highly polar.

b.Yes. O attracts electrons more strongly than C.

c.Right! O is electronegative, so O2 is polar.

d.Wrong again, Ralph. Both bonds are nonpolar. When two atoms of the same kind form a covalent bond, they share electrons equally because their electronegativity is the same.

e.No way. C is more electronegative than O.

Answer: d.Wrong again, Ralph. Both bonds are nonpolar. When two atoms of the same kind form a covalent bond, they share electrons equally because their electronegativity is the same.

Explanation:

Often when O and H are present in the substance at (opposite) ends (of the electronegativity scale), the polarity observed is very large, we can safely say the substance have a polar bond in it.

Hom-ozygous tall pea plants look the same as heterozygous tall pea plants. Formulate a pollination experiment to identify whethe
andre [41]

We can use a punnet square to predict the outcomes of the offspring when crossing two tall plants, and base the experiment we will perform on those probabilities.

A punnet square is a tool used by many genetic scientists. It uses the genetic makeup of the parents to guess those of the offspring.  The punnet square will give us probabilities for each outcome. We can design an experiment in which we make predictions using a punnet square based on Hom-ozygous alleles and heterozygous alleles.

Only by using two Hom-ozygous plants can we guarantee 100% tall plants, and only by using two heterozygous plants can we produce a short plant. Therefore, we can repeat the experiments until a short plant appears or we can only tall plants, and this way we can single out the Hom-ozygous and heterozygous plants.
