Answer:
Please find the detailed explanation of this statement below
Explanation:
Firstly, a repressed gene is a gene whose expression has been inhibited or repressed. The lac operon in E.coli bacteria is a regulatory unit containing structural genes, a single promoter and operator regions. The promoter is the region where the transcription enzyme (RNA polymerase) binds to in order to transcribe the genes in the lac operon. The structural genes in the lac operon can only be expressed in the presence of lactose sugar.
However, in the absence of lactose, LAC REPRESSOR, which is a transcription factor (protein), prevents the binding of RNA polymerase to the PROMOTER region by binding to the OPERATOR region of the lac operon. This inhibits the expression of the lactose genes in the operon.
Note that, the structural genes in the lac operon (lacZ, lacY, lacA) code for proteins that help break down lactose sugar for energy in the E.coli bacteria. Therefore, a bacteria cell with a repressed lac operon will be unable to degrade lactose sugar.
Answer:
b. Nucleotides
Explanation:
Nucleic acids are examples of structures formed from nucleotides. And in relation to the composition of DNA, we have the formation of the largest cellular macromolecule, all formed by nucleotides.
The nucleotide is a group formed by the association of 3 molecules - a nitrogen base, a phosphate group and a pentose glycide. Thus, we may have variations within these ligands, such as: in DNA we have the presence of pentose deoxyribose, while in RNA we have the presence of pentose ribose.
The nucleotides have differences in relation to its nitrogen base, which can be purine or pyrimidine. Purine bases vary in Adenine and Guanine, while pyrimidine bases are classified in Thymine, Uracil and Cytosine. Purine and pyrimidine bases are complementary and each have specific binders. Thus, we have that the purine base Adenina, binds with the pyrimidine bases Timina and Uracila, while the base Guanina binds exclusively to Cytosine and vice versa.
