Epithelial tissue constitutes an uninterrupted and continuous layer of cells. They form the linings of organs and body cavities for the protection. Epithelial cells are polarized with an apical surface which opposes the lumen of a tube or the external environment and a basal surface that attaches to the basal lamina. The epithelial tissues are specialized mainly for four functions, one of those function is protection, for this purpose they themselves are being Supported by the Connective Tissues. Epithelial cells are continuously renewed and these cells regenerate themselves with the help of mitosis. Cell linkages are well-employed in epithelial tissues.

1. Suppose the synthesis of an amino acid was accomplished by four enzymes encoded by four genes that formed an operon. Draw a m
vivado [14]

I have attached lac operon model having 4 genes. See attachment for better understanding.

Answer:

The Lac operon is controlled  by two signals.

Initiation

Glucose and lactose  concentrations control the initiation of  transcription of the Lac operon through  their effects on the Lac repressor protein  and Cap.

Lactose absent (Repression)

When lactose is absent, the Lac  repressor binds the Lac operator and shuts  off expression of the operon.

Lactose present (Transcription)

Addition  of lactose increases the intracellular  concentration of a related compound,  allolactose. allolactose binds to the  Lac repressor, causing it to undergo a  conformational change that releases its grip  on the operator DNa.

Glucose absent (Repression)

When  glucose is absent, cyclic aMp (red triangle)  is produced by the cell and Cap binds to  DNA.

Glucose present (Transcription)

LacZ, the first gene of the operon,  encodes the enzyme b-galactosidase, which  breaks down lactose to galactose and  glucose.

12. Which of the following best explains how meiosis, followed by fertilization, ensures genetic variation?A. Changes in an orga
maxonik [38]

Those changes in an individuals' genotype that ensure genetic variation begin to be done in Metaphase, where chromosomes are aligned to the equatorial axis of the cell, and eventually, each chromosome is pulled to each pole of the cell during Anaphase I. After this process, follows telophase I, where we can say that each chromosome is given to each of the two daughter cells. We can say then that the creation of different versions of alleles begins with Telophase I.

Olenka [21]
<span> D.all of the above

</span>

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have striking similarities to bacteria cells. They have their own DNA, which is separate from the DNA found in the nucleus of the cell. And both organelles use their DNA to produce many proteins and enzymes required for their function. A double membrane surrounds both mitochondria and chloroplasts, further evidence that each was ingested by a primitive host. The two organelles also reproduce like bacteria, replicating their own DNA and directing their own division.
