Answer:

If the temperature continued to decrease for the tenth hour instead of stabilizing, the body would go into hypothermia.

Explanation:

Hypothermia occurs when the core body temperature drops below 35°C, ie it is unintentional excessive heat loss. According to the graph shown in the question, hypothermia would happen if body temperature continued to decrease over the tenth hour rather than stabilize.

The core temperature of the human body should be between 36.5ºC and 37.5ºC. Below this threshold, various symptoms begin to appear, from cold to death. When there is a sudden drop in body temperature, the nerve endings detect the low temperature and immediately the body begins to perform vasoconstriction (downsizing) of the blood vessels, especially the skin, in order to decrease heat loss and stabilize the internal temperature. This is why the skin gets cold.

The operon model of the regulation of gene expression in bacteria was proposed by _____. the operon model of the regulation of g

Discovery

The operon model (Lac operon) of the regulation of gene expression in bacteria was proposed by Jacob and Monod and hey got noble prize in 1965 in Physiology and Medicine for this discovery.

Definition

“Operons are cluster of coregulated bacterial genes which regulate other genes responsible for protein synthesis”

Explanation

Operons were first studied in the bacterium E.coli, and they involve the enzyme of lactose metabolism and tryptophan biosynthesis.

Structure of Operon

Operon is generally composed of three basic DNA components:

1. Promotor:

It is a nucleotide sequence which is recognized by RNA polymerase and initiate transcription.

2. Operator:

It is a segment of DNA that is present between the promotor and other genes to be transcribed. In presence of repressor, RNA polymerase is physically obstructed and cannot transcribe the genes. In the absence of repressor, operator is active and start transcription of other proteins.

3. Structural genes:

These genes are responsible for synthesis of targeted proteins under the influence of operator.

Example of operon model:

In bacteria two operon model have been extensively studied, these are:

a. Lac Operon, and

b. Tryptophan operon
