The correct answer is A. Skin

Explanation:

In biology and related fields, an organ refers to structures composed of tissues that have a similar or same function. This includes organs such as kidneys, heart, lungs, among others. In the case of skin, this is considered an organ because the cells and tissue that composed skin serve to same purposes that include protecting the body from pathogens, regulating temperature and collecting stimulus related to sensations.

Moreover, the skin is the largest organ in the body because this can be found along all the body acting as an outer covering, while other organs are limited to one location, for example, the heart is only found in the chest, while the skin is the outer covering of the inner structures and tissues.

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
