The answer is (A. A warm current flows along the coast.) Currents carry cold and warm water from place to place. It's an amazing phenomenon that scientists are still trying to fully figure out.  Some think it's caused by wind, others think it's caused by the shifting of the tectonic plates, but one thing's for sure, currents are VITAL for this planets life.

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

<u>Westerlies are the warm wind blowing in the mid-latitudes from the western direction towards the eastern direction in both the hemisphere</u>. It originates at the 30° latitudes from the high-pressure region and moves towards the region that are located at 60° latitude.

Since Europe is located between the latitude of 30° to 60° in the northern hemisphere, so it experiences the strong westerly winds. <u>As this warm wind comes from the tropical region so they bring warmer air currents often accompanied by rainfall. This wind when reaches the western coastal part of Europa the ice present there gets melted</u>.

so the ports remain ice-free during the winter season.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

The Lac Operon is a set of genes that controls the production of lactase the enzyme that digests
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The lactose present prevents the production of lactase

Explanation:

This question is describing a set of genes in bacteria called LAC OPERON. Lac operon controls the production of lactase, which is the enzyme that digests lactose. However, this gene can be regulated at the transcription level i.e caused to be transcribed or not depending on certain factors.

According to the question, lac operon, which regulates the production of enzymes will be transcribed and subsequently translated i.e. turned on when there is a substrate (lactose) that the produced enzyme will work on. However, when there is no need of the lactase enzyme or there is absence of lactose (substrate), the lac operon gene is turned off.

Note that, the statement that "The presence of lactose prevents the production of lactase" is not correct.
