All choices correctly describes physical barriers. Physical barriers after composed of tight junctions wherein it is difficult for the bacteria and viruses to penetrate. Examples of these physical barriers are the skin and the mucous membranes and these work in conjunction with secretions like tears and mucus (as tears and mucus contain IgA, a special type of immunoglobulin that is secreted to fight harmful organisms).

For each region of the lac operon on the F' plasmid, I+ P+ Oc Z− Y+ , determine whether the region is wild type (that is, it pro
UNO [17]

Answer:

A,B and E

Explanation:

  • I+: I refers to the lac repressor, the + indicates that the repressor is functional
  • P+:  P refers to the promoter region and the + indicates that the promoter is functional
  • Oc:  O refers to the operator region, but the Oc indicates that the operator is constitutive ie. that it is always on/ can't be turned off.
  • Z-: Z refers to the LacZ gene which produces β-galactosidase. Z- indicates that this gene is non-functional
  • Y+:  Y refers to the LacY gene which produces the permease protein. Y+ indicates that this gene is functional

So based on the breakdown above:

  • A is true because P+.
  • B is true because I+.
  • C is not true because the lac operon is an inducible system. The operator needs to be able to be repressed. In this case the operator is constitutive (always on)  which is not the correct form.
  • D is not true because Z-, no β-galactosidase is produced.
  • E is true because Y+.

Only A, B and E apply.

Describe the structure and function of the main components of a leaf<br><br>​
Reil [10]

Answer: HOPE IT HELPS MARK AS BRAINLIEST . BYE

Explanation:

Leaf, in botany, any usually flattened green outgrowth from the stem of a vascular plant. As the primary sites of photosynthesis, leaves manufacture food for plants, which in turn ultimately nourish and sustain all land animals. Botanically, leaves are an integral part of the stem system, and they are initiated in the apical bud (growing tip of a stem) along with the tissues of the stem itself. Certain organs that are superficially very different from the usual green leaf are formed in the same manner and are actually modified leaves; among these are the sharp spines of cacti, the needles of pines and other conifers, and the scales of an asparagus stalk or a lily bulb.
